Finding oracle physical database files I'm using oracle 11g and I need to find the database files to copied to another server. The database was created from migrating from SQL Server 2008 to 11g. There doesn't seem to be a counterpart for sql server's mdf/ldf files. 

I read that there are dbf's/ctl's instead but I'm not sure which one is what I need. Also there aren't any files named after the database user that owns the database (after migration, it's the user that has the database) which leaves me puzzled.

I need to know which files are needed so I can copy the oracle database to another remote oracle server easily.
An Oracle database instance is made basically of three kinds of files: database files (aka datafiles), controlfile, and redo log files.

You can check their names and paths by issuing these simple queries, logged with a DBA privileged account:

select name   from v$datafile;
select name   from v$controlfile;
select member from v$logfile;


Your question is a very newbie one. No problem with it, of course, but you should take a read on Oracle Database Concepts manual.
