One db and user for multiple tablespaces or schemas per server?

Question

Hello again.
I installed Oracle 11g on server_1 and created one database db_1.
Using Enterprise Manager, I did the following:
Created a tablespace myname_1.
Created a user myname_1.
Logged in as myname_1 and created a table into the default tablespace myname_1.
When creating this table, the schema field defaulted to myname_1.
Created another tablespace myname_2.
My confusion about the relationship between tablespaces, users, and schemas starts here:
When I try to create a new table for tablespace myname_2, I get an error:
"user myname_2 does not exist"
I am seeking some clarification on these levels of organization in Oracle.
My goal is to setup my server with one database each and one user each per database.
Then, I think I want to create multiple tablespaces and organize objects per tablespace.
Or should it be per schema?
Eventually each tablespace will be moved to a separate server.
Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for helping.

Hello,
This error means user MYNAME_2 doesn't exists and you have to create one.
Example 1:
CREATE USER MYNAME_2
  IDENTIFIED BY "my_password"
  DEFAULT TABLESPACE MYNAME_1
  TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP
  PROFILE DEFAULT
  ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
  -- 4 Roles for KLONDIKE
   GRANT RESOURCE TO MYNAME_2; ---> This privs give unlimited quota on all the tablespaces
  GRANT CONNECT TO MYNAME_2;
  ALTER USER MYNAME_2 DEFAULT ROLE NONE;
Then create your table (you were missing "AS" )
create table myname_2.mytable_1 as
select * from source_table@dblink_2;Example 2: If you want to create table mytable_1 in tablespace myname_2 then you have to create tablespace myname_2 first. To create table in different tablespace than user default tablespace
create table mytable_1 tablespace myname_2 as select * from source_table@dblink;Regards
