Oracle error message code 1653 op 4, ORA-01653: unable to extend table

Question

Hi
Our application use Oracle 9i as database. I modified one of tables and try to convert it from this application, then I got an Oralce 1653 error as followings:
Creating Table SAMPLE_T
Copying data from SAMPLE to SAMPLE_T
Unable to move data from table 'SAMPLE' to table 'SAMPLE_T'
Oracle error message code 1653 op 4, ORA-01653: unable to extend table SAND.SAMPLE_T by 1024 in tablespace SAMPLE_RESULT
I suspect the tablespace SAMPLE_RESULT is not big enough and also can not extended automatically, but not sure if it is right or there maybe other reasons behind this error.
Any idea?
Thanks

Answer 1

Lets try .....
SQL> select tablespace_name,sum(bytes)/1024 from dba_free_space where tablespace_name='USERS' group by tablespace_name;
TABLESPACE_NAME                SUM(BYTES)/1024
USERS                                      384
SQL> alter database datafile 'C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MYDB\USERS01.DBF' autoextend off;
SQL> alter table scott.emp allocate extent;
Table altered.
SQL> /
alter table scott.emp allocate extent
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01653: unable to extend table SCOTT.EMP by 128 in tablespace USERSI believe you must add more space to tablespace SAMPLE_RESULT or set the autoextend on for associated datafiles.
Hope it help ..
