Add datafile or Increase MAXBYTES

Hi,
I have a datafile1 which has
MAXBYTES = 1024MB
Autoextend = ON.
nextextent size = 20MB
current size = 1010MB.
So it'll not be able to allocate next extent.
My question are
1. Should I increase MAXBYTES to 2024MB to let the datafile grow?
2. Should I add a new datafile?
What is the difference in both this case? Will both work?
Pl. help.

Hi,
>>Will both work?
Yes.
>>What is the difference in both this case??
basically adding a datafile, you just will need to worry in backup one more datafile.
Cheers

Add datafile or increase the size?

Hi, I have this question. When is recomendable to add a datafile on the tablespace and when is recomendable to increase the size of the datafile on the tablespace?
Thanks!

What i feel is
if you dont have free space in the file system then adding datafile to another filesystem is the only option.In this case we cannot increase the datafilesize.
NO free space in filesystem---add datafile in another filsystem
else increase data file size.
increasing the datafile increases the time in recovery incase if datafile is crashed.
Datawarehouse Db suits big tablespaxces.
Correct me if i am wrong

Autoextend user tablespace or add datafile

Hello,
My USERS tablespace had problem today when loading a file using sqlldr. It stopped loading halfway through the file.
The allocated is set to 1900 mb and the used was at 1850. I only have 1 datafile for users tablespace. I have autoextensible to YES.
Why did it not extend the tablespace when I should still have 2gb free??
I dropped a couple unused user tables and it reduced the used amount, then I was able reran the sqlldr load and it completed.
Should I create a new datafile
ALTER TABLESPACE USERS ADD DATAFILE ‘/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/users01.dbf’ SIZE 2000M AUTOEXTEND OFF;
or increase the allocation
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE ‘/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/users.dbf’ RESIZE 3000M;
Thanks for the help...

Why did it not extend the tablespace when I should still have 2gb free??
Might be maxsize was defined at the time of tablespace creation
For example
SQL> select DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLESPACE', 'USERS') from dual;
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLESPACE','USERS')
CREATE TABLESPACE "USERS" DATAFILE
'C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\USERS.DBF' SIZE 104857600
AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10485760[b] MAXSIZE 5120M
LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT BLOCKSIZE 8192
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL AUTOALLOCATE SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO
Should I create a new datafile
ALTER TABLESPACE USERS ADD DATAFILE
‘/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/users01.dbf’ SIZE
2000M AUTOEXTEND OFF;
or increase the allocation
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE
‘/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/users.dbf’ RESIZE
3000M; It is good idea to add new file and having multiple file with same size.
Also in future if needed you can relocate datafile to reduce I/O contention.

The architecture of Windows is due to this problem. Keep in mind that YOU do have this share available but the Oracle process has not. You yourself are the connecting user of the share and this share is availbale to you and not to the Oracle process. Oracle itselfs runs in the background (and not on your console) with another user (default Windows internal user: SYSTEM) and you cannot get this share available for this user. The previous reply (run the Oracle service using another DOMAIN user) will help.

Can I add datafile bigger then 2GB

Hi all,
Can I add datafile bigger then 2GB (on the raw device) to the tablespace ?
I get err:
ORA-01119 : error in creating database file '/opt/DISK/data02'
ORA-27042 : not enought space on raw partition to fullfill request
Aditional information : 1
And

when I use partition with size 2GB it is Ok.
Is it limitation by Linux ?
I have linux 7.1
and oracle 8.1.7
What can I do ?

If you want to use raw devices with linux you have to use the utility 'raw' to map the device. You could also use the Logical Volume Manager (or both)

How to add datafile to standby database

Hi,
We have standby database on another site and we are using manual recovery. How to add datafile to standby database after datafile is added to primary database.
We are on Oracle 9i R2.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
When you recover the standby database after you added a datafile to the production, you will get an error that the file that needs recovery does not exist.
At this point you can connect to the standby and issue:
alter database create datafile '<original_name>' as '<new_name>';the new name is optional if the location of the files are the same.
After that, you can continue recovering the standby database.

Do I need to add datafile right now

Hi Friends,
I saw a tablespace there are two datafile.
one is full. second file information as below
File Size 3072MB and online
Automatically extend datafile when full (AUTOEXTEND) Increment 1024 KB
Maximum File Size value 32767MB
I saw size 6144.0 and used 5805.0 used as 94.5 in EM
seagment management set as auto
from threshold I saw
Tablespace Size (MB) 6,144.00 Space Used (MB) 5,805.00
Space Used (%) 94.48 Free Space (MB) 339.00
We use oracle 10gR2 in window 2003
Do i need to add or increase size or waitng for auto increase based on Maximum File Size value 32767MB
I dod not get a alert/ or warming information. we set as 95% for this event. warming as 85%.
Thanks,
Jim

If the second file is created with maxsize 32 G then you don' thave issue at this point of time, it will automatically extend file till second files also reaches its maxsize. In addition if you are deleting/truncating data periodically from tables, then you should be having free space in both files
select file_name, (bytes/(1024*1024*1024)) size_gb from dba_data_files
where tablespace_name='YOURTABLESPACE';
You can use following to verify how much is freed up in tablespaces (you can join with dba_data_files)
select * from dba_free_space
where tablespace_name='YOURTABLESPACE';

Add Datafile in Logical Standby Database

Hi,
I have add one datafile in our primary RAC DB. We had logical standby database with file management is equal to manual. Both the primary RAC and logical standby db have the different storage structure. When the archive applied on the logical standby database its throws the error " error in creating datafile 'path'";
Would appreciate if come to know the steps to add the datafile in this kind of environment. and how can i overcome from this problem now except skip transaction for that ddl.
Thanks in advance.
Dewan

When the archive applied on the logical standby database its throws the error " error in creating datafile 'path'";Can you post the error message with the number.
From Manual..
8.3.1.2 Adding a Tablespace and a Datafile When STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT Is Set to MANUAL
The following example shows the steps required to add a new datafile to the primary and standby database when the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to MANUAL. You must set the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter to MANUAL when the standby datafiles reside on raw devices.
Add a new tablespace to the primary database:
SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE new_ts DATAFILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db2.dbf'
2> SIZE 1m AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;
Verify the new datafile was added to the primary database:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
NAME
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db1.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db2.dbf
Perform the following steps to copy the tablespace to a remote standby location:
Place the new tablespace offline:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE new_ts OFFLINE;
Copy the new tablespace to a local temporary location using an operating system utility copy command. Copying the files to a temporary location will reduce the amount of time the tablespace must remain offline. The following example copies the tablespace using the UNIX cp command:
% cp /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/t_db2.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db2.dbf
Place the new tablespace back online:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE new_ts ONLINE;
Copy the local copy of the tablespace to a remote standby location using an operating system utility command. The following example uses the UNIX rcp command:
%rcp /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db2.dbf standby_location
Archive the current online redo log file on the primary database so it will get transmitted to the standby database:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
Use the following query to make sure that Redo Apply is running. If the MRP or MRP0 process is returned, Redo Apply is being performed.
SQL> SELECT PROCESS, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;
Verify the datafile was added to the standby database after the archived redo log file was applied to the standby database:
SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$DATAFILE;
NAME
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db1.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/s2t_db2.dbf

Which is better? Resize datafile or add datafile in same diskgroup.

Hi All,
Can you explain which is better option between adding a datafile or resizing one in a diskgroup with 20 disks?
Regards,
Avi

hello buddy,
Since you know that a small file datafile has a limitation of 32gb then if your tablespace is out of this space then the solution is add more dfiles, also, in my point of view less datafiles in a hughe database is better for evite ckpt contention. The answer is dependo always for your situation!!!
I hope it helps
best regards,
