Oracle Solution for Error ora-01266

ORA-01266: Unable to create unique file name

What triggered 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.

What should we do to fix it:

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