Autoextend free space check

This SQL script was developed and tested on Oracle 9i but should also work on Oracle 8 versions. It checks each data file for the free space left and how much the file can grow using dba_data_files and dba_free_space. The result is joined with a similar result from dba_temp_files without the dba_free_space values because there aren't any for tempfiles.

>>FROM DBA_DATA_FILES DATA LEFT OUTER JOIN DBA_FREE_SPACE FREE
>>ON DATA.FILE_ID = FREE.FILE_ID 

FROM DBA_DATA_FILES DATA, DBA_FREE_SPACE FREE 
WHERE DATA.FILE_ID = FREE.FILE_ID(+)
