Create tablespace command

Here is the question...
Assuming an existing tablespace with the same datafile name as a new one being created for a different instance. Is is possible to corrupt the existing datafile by using the SAME datafile path in the create tablespace command by misake.
The existing tablespace (and datafile) are in use by the other instance at the time of teh execution of the erroneous create tablespace command.
I would think (bad thing to do) it would be an O/S error to attempt to re-create the datafile with the same name as an existing and mounted datafile of the same O/S name and that the O/S would have prevented any corruption.

That is what I thought, and evidently Oracle DID complain and rejected the create tablespace command, but it went ahead and corrupted the existing file of the other database anyway, which went unnoticed until the next "bounce" for backups on the affected database. The alert log on the affected database recorded numerous ORA-0600 starting at the time of the create tablespace on the other database.
The corruption consisted of rendering the datafile SIZE (number of blocks) out of synch with what was stored in the control file.
I just got a response back from Metalink that said they were able to re-created the behavior there on Windows, I am awaiting their reply regarding the behavior on UNIX.
Thank you for your consideration of my question and your reply.

Create tablespace in Oracle 10g Express

Hi,
I've been playing around over the last few days with Oracle 10g Express and I need to create my own tablespace and therefore create user associated with my custom table space.
I tried with the command create tablespace, but I am not successful with configuring the parameters such as the datafile location and such. I did go through the Oracle Concepts Guide which was very helpful, but I must be missing something.
Also assuming that my db scheme will be part of my application and therefore released to my client as script so they can re-create my database how would the table space integration work on their end.
I would I have to place my first line of the script to create the table space and ask them for database file location?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

The reason why I think I should create my own tablespace is because I am creating a database scheme and thus I think it is appropriate to place my db scheme in its own tablespace instead of simply using the Users tablespace default.

I am also not sure how to specify the datafile.
Thank you.How about checking with the fine SQL Reference manual for the syntax of the CREATE TABLESPACE command?
Learning where to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com. Drill down to your product and version.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

Create tablespace syntax for raw disk on Solaris

Hi!
I want to create a tablespace over /dev/rdsk/c1t1d1s5
I tried with
svrmgrl>create tablespace rawtb datafile '/dev/rdsk/c1t1d1s5' reuse;
Is this the proper way of creating tablespace over a raw disk?
Can one specify a "filename" to this raw device (w/o a symbolic link creation) for example "rawtb.dbf" ?

hi
u just create a symbolic link using ln command. use that in the create tablespace command.directly u can't do that by specifying the raw device name.

The BEST create tablespace options for 9i

What is the best create tablespace command with options to create a tablespace that will be used for a partition in a partitioned table that will potentially get very big with lots of users and lots of data for a very big OLTP database?

I would prefer locally managed tablespaces with uniform extent sizes. For the segment space management, it depends on the concurrency of transactions on this table, but I would prefer automatic segment space management generally.

Hi,
During the PREPARE phase normally it creates a script which you can run for the creation of these Tablespaces,this script can be found in the Upgrade directory(eg:/usr/sap/put/log/DB6TBSXT.CLP - this script will have the command to create the tablespaces).Just run this script,it will create all the tablespaces based on the requirement.

Sam

Hi Experts,

Thanks,

Your real problem is that PSAPUNDO does not exist. For an unknown reason you are using PSAPUNDO1. so, you must fix this:
shutdown your DB.
rename tablespace PSAPUNDO1 to PSAPUNDO. this can be done with:
brspace -c force -f tsalter -a rename -t PSAPUNDO1 -n PSAPUNDO
you will also need to change parameter undo_tablespace to PSAPUNDO
if using initSID.ora, change this manually. or else, do this:
alter system set undo_tablespace=PSAPUNDO scope=both;
you might need to restart your database.
good luck.

Alter tablespace command problem (sql statement))

Hello,
I have a table space named t_space2.
I wanna add a datafile for this tablespace so I wrote on sql the following:
Alter tablespace t_space2
add datafile 'D:\DATA\cust.dat'
size 30 M;
it gives me the following message:
table space t_space2 doesn't exist!!!
the tablespace exsits on dba_tablespaces.
Thank u in advance
null

Hi,
the reason may be that one:
You created the tablespace with a command like that:
CREATE TABLESPACE "goofy"
DATAFILE 'E:\ORADB8I\ORADATA\WARPING\GOOFY_01.dbf' SIZE 5M REUSE
DEFAULT STORAGE ( INITIAL 80K NEXT 80K MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED PCTINCREASE 1 )Using the quotes, You've indicated to the DB to use the name exaclty as written, so in lower cases.
Because of that, every time You need to refere to the tablespace, but the same is for tables or column names, Youve to use the name "goofy" intead of goofy or GOOFY.
This is used to permit to the user, if it is necessary to the application, to use a field name that may be:
"Total Amount Field"
I believe that this is the rela reason.
Bye Max

You could use import option show=y to capture import run statements and find CREATE TABLESPACE statements. Keep in mind your target database already has undo, temp system, etc. tablespaces so you do not need to precreate them. Then rerun import.

Create tablespace in Oracle 11g

CREATE TABLESPACE TEST_TBS

- The above command works fine.
Is there any better commands i need to be using in creating a tablespace w.r.t. performance and management.

it is recommended to have small sized blocks for OLTP, and big sized for DSS. The reasons:
You can try different block sizes in tablespaces...
On OLTP, a smaller block size reduces contention:
1. Reduces the possibility of concurrent transaction and locks on the same block.
2. Provides a better locking mechanism
3. Less transacction locks possibilities at the block header.
DSS benefit from big blocks mainly because of IO:
1. Retrieves in less IO operations more data, which is critical for FTS and index scans.
2. A higher row density means less IO
3. Indexes retrieve information on a block per block basis, with big blocks indexes are retrieved with less IO
4. Reduces the chances of chained rows.
Check the following link for examples and details information.If johnpau needs a 50G file he has no choice: 16K blocks is the only option.
But that advice about different blocksizes is very twentieth century. Nowadays, it doesn't matter.

Create tablespace issue

Hi;
I wanna learn one thing...
I have oracle ebs r11i wiht 10gr2 db, and its prod instance...
Issue is like this:
I have one tablespace lets us call it XXX and it has datafile like xx1.dbf,xx2.dbf..... I want to delete those dbf becouse their each size is 40 GB, and i want to create 2 new datafile which is each 10Gb.
Would you give me steps and command how i can do that?
Thanks

tablespace - XXX
datafile - xx1.dbf,xx2.dbf.....
you want to delete those dbf becouse their each size is 40 GB, and i want to create 2 new datafile which is each 10Gb.
1) If you want to delete 40 GB dbf's, you will loose data.
2) If you really do not want those data, you can go ahead by dropping and creating DBF with 10 GB.
steps and command how i can do that?
I have give below sample commands, go through it thoroughly and go ahead.
Best of Luck.

Can i perhaps add Operating system environment variable to DATAFILE value somehow? I don't want to create tablespace with full file path, starting from drive name and ending with file name.You can use variables in dbca when you create a database (I already can hear you say you don't want that)
You can also use Oracle Managed Files for the entire database ( I already can hear you say you don't want that)
You can not use relative paths, which begs the question why you don't want to use an absolute path, assuming you seldomly create a tablespace.
I don't want to see posts like yours with unjustified 'complaints', yet I do respond to it.

Error:
Error at Command Line:1 Column:0
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00059: maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded
00059. 00000 - "maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded"
*Cause: The value of the DB_FILES initialization parameter was exceeded.
*Action: Increase the value of the DB_FILES parameter and warm start.
I am not sure how to rectify this error ? Do I have to reduce number of database files ?
Please advise
Thanks

Cause of The Problem
You have reached the limit of DB_FILES parameter. Before entering into solution part let's have an idea about DB_FILES and MAXDATAFILES parameter.
The DB_FILES parameter limits the maximum number of datafile can exist in oracle database. We can't change this parameter dynamically. We have to change it spfile by using ALTER SYSTEM .... SCOPE=SPFILE or in the pfile.
And the MAXDATAFILES parameter you can find with the CREATE DATABASE command or in CREATE CONTROLFILE command. It is also a limitation of maximum number of datafiles can be in the datafile. But starting from oracle 8 this hard limit parameter can be easily expanded up to DB_FILES parameter. So, if you attempt to add a new file whose number is greater than MAXDATAFILES, but less than or equal to DB_FILES, the MAXDATAFILES parameter of the control file will expand automatically to accommodate more files.
So, if you are after oracle 8i then we should just forget about MAXDATAFILES parameter. We should rather think about DB_FILES parameter.
Solution of The Problem
If you use pfile to startup the database then edit pfile and add/modify the DB_FILES parameter to a greater value so that it can accommodate higher number of datafiles. Then start the database using that pfile.
If you use spfile to startup the database then issue,
SQL> alter system set db_files=300 scope=spfile;
System altered.
Then start your database and either create tablespace or add datafile to an existing tablespace. Hopefully it will work.source:-

CREATE TABLESPACE PROBLEM

I'm unable to get sqlplus to recognize predefined Windows environment variables. For example:
CREATE TABLESPACE PRODUCT DATAFILE '%ORACLE_DIR%\oradata\xxx\PRODUCT.DAT' SIZE 1M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1M;
%ORACLE_DIR% = C:\bas\db\oracle
After trying to execute this statement the following error gets returned:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01119: error in creating database file
'BAS_ORACLE_HOME\oradata\bas\PRODUCT.DAT'
ORA-27040: skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified.
However, when I enter the command as:
CREATE TABLESPACE PRODUCT DATAFILE 'C:\bas\db\oracle\oradata\xxx\PRODUCT.DAT' SIZE 1M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1M;
The tablespace gets completed successfully.
Therefore, how do I get the CREATE TABLESPACE statement to recognize ORACLE_DIR?
Thank you in advance for your help!

I sometimes pass in filenames as parameters to SQL*Plus
and then use the argument substitution variables.
For example:
sqlplus system/manager @myscript.sql c:\mydir\myfile
Where myscript.sql contains
create .... datafile '&1' ...
Another common solution is to construct the script
in a shell environment that does the the OS variable
expansion before the script is passed to SQL*Plus.
Typically this is with a "here document". In Perl
it would be something like:
sqlplus -s <<EOF;
system/manager
create ... datafile $ENV{'ORACLE_DIR'} ...
exit
EOF
-- C
