What is the difference between DBA_DATA_FILES and V$DATAFILE ?

pstein-JavaNetJul 27 2009 — edited Jul 27 2009
What is the difference between the following two queries?

SELECT FILE_NAME, BYTES FROM DBA_DATA_FILES;

and

SELECT NAME, BYTES FROM V$DATAFILE;

Do they they always show the same result?
