Oracle Error ORA-01266: Unable to create unique file name

Oracle Error Message

ORA-01266: Unable to create unique file name

Reason for the Error

Unable to create a unique file name for an Oracle managed file. Oracle tried several names but each file name was already in use in the default destination directory for the file type.

Solution

Retry the operation. If that fails, also, it may be necessary to change the default destination directory for the file type and then retry.
