ORA-03206 when attempting to AUTOEXTEND system tablespace

Hello.
We're running 11.2.0.2.0 on 64-bit Linux.
A week or so ago, I noticed my SYSTEM tablespace was getting close to it's limit of 32G, so I set it to autoextend by 1G, with a max size of UNLIMITED.
This seemed to work. However, EOM shows it as still having a limit of 32G. I'm guessing the limit of 32G is treated as UNLIMITED.
So, I tried extending to 50G. This failed with ORA-03206. Presumably as the SYSTEM tablespace isn't a BIGFILE tablespace.
The majority of suggestions mention reducing the datafile maxsize, which isn't an option for us.
As far as I can see I'll have to either:
1. Add a new datafile (can we do this on SYSTEM?)
2. Change SYSTEM to a BIGFILE tablespace
Can anyone advise on the best course of action here? I'm guessing 1) is safer than 2) and 2) would need downtime, but would also be future proof.
Any help.suggestions would be much apprciated, as always,
Thanks,
Ray

Many thanks for the quick reply. I also had an inkling that the tablespace was growing unusually fast...turns out it was the FGA_LOG$ table, which lives in the SYSTEM tablespace, which had grown to a massive 25GB!
Another thread deals with a similar issue:
Extents Issue
Truncated FGA_LOG$ and all's well again. We need to examine our FGA policy but for now the problem is solved.

Getting ORA-1013 when attempting to expand tables within connections

Getting ORA-1013 when attempting to expand tables within connections on new install of Oracle SQL developer 3.1.06.
Any ideas?

Hi Steve,
The ORA-01013 usually means a timeout or, more typically on this forum, an intentional user cancellation. Searching the forum, I do not see any prior references to your exact situation. Some recommendations:
1. SQL Developer 3.1.0.6 was an early adopter release. Upgrade to the latest and greatest: 3.2.10.09.57
2. Review this: Re: [SQL Developer 3.0.04] Cannot Drill Down
3. If it is a true timeout, your privileges might make a difference. If you have access to the DBA views, SQL Developer does look-ups using those and performance is better.
So for [3], having the SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE privilege may help. I even read of one case in this forum where the poster finally discovered his database's recycle bin had an issue and the DBA needed to do some clean-up to correct the performance issue.
Hope this helps,
Gary

ORA-3297 when attempting to resize a datafile to a small size

Hello,
I have a tablespace tbspace_A which has 3 datafiles. There are numerous segments in tbspace_A. This tablespace grew to 80 gigs while lots of inserts were performed on tables. Now those tables are either dropped or have records deleted dramatically. Now I want to reduce the tablespace from 80 gigs to 50 gigs so I can return the unused space to the o/s. I am getting error ORA-3297 when trying to reduce a datafile /oradata/tbspace_A03.dbf belong to tbspace_A.
My task now is to:
1) Find the segments that occupy /oradata/tbspace_A03.dbf datafile
2) alter table table_name99 move tablespace scratch_tbspace;
3) alter table table_name99 move tbspace_A;
4) Attemp again to resize(smaller) the /oradata/tbspace_A03.dbf
so to return disk space to the o/s.
Is this the correct method?
Is there a better method?
What are the gotchas?
Thank you.

This is the procedure to follow, the gotchas I see are:
1. Watch out for relational constraints
2. Rebuild indexes afterwards
3. You may use the move command, unless the table has LONG/LONG RAW columns.
You could use Enterprise Manager and/or oracle expdp/impdp to perform the remapping tasks (10g).

Getting ORA-01031 when attempting to Create Database

I am attempting to issue a CREATE DATABASE statement via JDBC but I am getting a "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" error. I am logged in as an administrator and I have no trouble creating tables. I am also receiving the same error when attempting this from SQLPlus. I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Pino

Pino,
I haven't verified this, but only the SYS user can create a DATABASE in Oracle, and you also need to use a special login (when going via SQL*Plus) which JDBC cannot handle. Hence your failures both via JDBC and SQL*Plus.
By the way, if you are new to Oracle, but have experience in another database, then the Oracle idea of a DATABASE is probably different than what you're used to. That's probably why you're stumped. If you haven't already done so, I suggest reading the Oracle Database Concepts volume of the Oracle documentation, which is available from:
http://tahiti.oracle.com
Good Luck,
Avi.

That works now ....
When we ask the Postgres driver which columns/data types are in that table it reports:

ORA-39126 when attempting expdp with network_link

I'm trying to use expdp to get a dump of a db on another box so I can duplicate it on my dev machine.
I created a network link using :
create public database link preprodlink connect to "TESTUSER" identified by "testpass" using '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=my.machine.eu)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=PREPRODSID)))';
I have verified that this seems ok by doing :
select * from dual@preprodlink;
which runs successfully.
I then created a local user to match the schema with :
create user TESTUSER identified by testpass;
grant all privileges to TESTUSER;
I then attempt to do the actual export using
expdp TESTUSER/testpass directory=oratmp network_link=preprodlink dumpfile=TESTUSER.dmp schemas=TESTUSER exclude=statistics
But I get error ORA-39126 and PLS-00201.

ORA-01031: insufficient privileges when attempting to run a proc

I have a procedure called KILL_MY_SESSION that is defined with an AUTHID of DEFINER
The procedure owned by schema JOHN. The procedure makes several calls to DBMS_SQL PL/SQL package.
The last thing the procedure does with DBMS_SQL is issue an ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION statement.
Schema JOHN has the privileges to kill a session in the database.
If I log into the schema JOHN, I can successfully issue the ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION statement.
Also, while logged into the JOHN schema, I can successfully run the KILL_MY_SESSION procedure.
Now I have schema OITS. I've granted OITS the EXECUTE privilege on the JOHN.KILL_MY_SESSION procedure.
Since JOHN.KILL_MY_SESSION is a DEFINERs rights privilege, shouldn't OITS be able to run the procedure successfully and kill a session?
Here is some output from the OITS session when attempting to execute JOHN.KILL_MY_SESSION:

You may need to grant the privileges to John WITH ADMIN OPTION (or WITH GRANT OPTION for object privileges), if John is to grant others EXECUTE privileges on the procedure.
Whenever you have a problem, it helps if you post a complete test script that re-creates the problem.
In this case, include
(1) All relevant GRANT statements
(2) the full code of kill_my_session (or a simplified version, that gets the same error)

(4) how OITS calls it (unsucessfully)

thanks everyone!

Hello,
in dba_temp_files, it shows MAXBYTES as 34359721984, so UNLIMITED apparently does mean 32GB??As Sybrand posted, it depends on your Block Size.
If you use Smallfile Tablespace (the default) then, each of its Datafile is limited to *4 MBlock* (so 4x1024x1024 blocks). So, for a Block Size of 8 Ko it gives (8x1024)x(4x1024x1024) Bytes = *32 GB*. But, you may have up to *1022* Datafiles for your Tablespace.
So, if you want your Tablespace to extend more than 32 GB you may add other datafiles, up to *1022*. So in fact the maximum size for your Tablespace can reach almost *32 TB* (for a block size of 8 Ko). Of course, in this case, you'll have so many datafiles that it won't be easy to manage them.
This is the reason why, starting with Oracle 10.1 you may create Bigfile Tablespace. They have just one datafile but, it can reach *4 GBlock*, so 32 TB for a Block Size of 8 Ko.
Before using Bigfile Tablespace, you should ensure that your OS can support such large file else, the capacity of the Tablespace could be really limited.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

The space used by the schema on system tablespace is not coming back.

Hi user509593!
Adding objects to a tablespace requires space in that tablespace. This space is managed in segments and extents. If an extent is fully used (that means 100 % usage) a new extent will be added to a segment. Oracle uses a mechanism called "High Water Mark" to mark the last used extent.
Your problem is that oracle don't set this High Water Mark back if you are dropping objects from a tablespace. Once an extent is marked as it it retains marked as used.
Before Adding Objects:
u = used Extent
x = free Extent
| = High Water Mark
uuuuuuxxxxx
...........|
After Adding Objects:
uuuuuuuxxxx
............|
After dropping objects:
uuuuuuuxxxx
............|
The only chance to get your "unused" space back is to reorganized your tablespace. But before you reorganize something please read the documentation to know all about the costs and traps that comes with reorganization.
Hope this help!

Hi emelville,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. This article has instructions that may help:

If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would recommend trying a thorough uninstall and reinstall of iTunes as described here:

Hi Cody
Sorry to hear about your difficulties.
It should be very uncommon for Pages to crash. I've been using it for years on a daily basis and it's only happened to me once except when I was trying to replicate a bug for someone.
Your experience might be a symptom of an underlying problem with your system. I recommend that you back all your stuff up now.
Whilst trying to isolate the issue, I recommend that you manually create frequent backups of your documents using the Finder after a successful save until you can trust it.
Next, use disk utility to do a repair permissions on your hard drive.
Also, after quitting Pages, try trashing your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWorks.Pages.plist file (back it up first if you want) and restarting Pages.
If this doesn't work, there are loads of troubleshooting tips here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html. I also recommend that you read the tips on system maintenance.
In case you didn't already know this, Pages files are actually packages. Control-click on the icon and select Show Package Contents to see what's inside. You may be able to recover some text from the files in there. I don't believe there are any repair utilities. Nor is the file format available.
I hope this helps you.
