Creating new Tablespace in 10g XE using Database Home Page

Question

How can I add a Tablespace using the "Database home Page" GUI? I've done this before, but now do not see a link for "Create Tablespace" under the Administration -> Storage icon. I'm logged in as sys.

Answer 1

use sqlplus to create a new tablespace
(set your XE environment first)
(for Linux)
the environment file envOraXEclient for example) -- modify for your env and different shell, and source the file
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
export TNS_ADMIN=/home/mytnsdirectory
export TWO_TASK=XE
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:${PATH}
by using sqlplus, create the tablespace (use different size if you want, up to 4gb, you can create smaller, more than one tablespace, etc - this is just an example)
CREATE SMALLFILE
TABLESPACE "MYTBLSPC1"
DATAFILE '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/mytblspc1.dbf'
SIZE 2G REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
LOGGING EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO
if you want, create a dedicated temporary tablespace for your user/s as well (here is an example)
CREATE SMALLFILE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "MYTEMP"
TEMPFILE '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/mytemp.dbf'
SIZE 100M REUSE EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1024K
turn the recyclebin off if you want/need to (I do ;)
alter system set recyclebin=off;
change the open_cursors if you want/need to (I do ;)
ALTER SYSTEM SET open_cursors = 5000 SCOPE=MEMORY;
ALTER SYSTEM SET open_cursors = 5000 SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET session_cached_cursors = 50 SCOPE=SPFILE;
create a specific user utilizing the tablespaces you created earlier
CREATE USER "ZAFER" PROFILE "DEFAULT"
IDENTIFIED BY "zafer" DEFAULT TABLESPACE "MYTBLSPC1"
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "MYTEMP"
ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
(grants are up to you - and your development / deployment environment)
GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO "ZAFER";
GRANT "CONNECT" TO "ZAFER";
GRANT "RESOURCE" TO "ZAFER";
