Hi,
@Aman
The answer is yes but how about doing it on your laptop or somewhere , shouldn't take more than 5 minutes right?:) I agree

  • Question about ALTER TABLESPACE add/drop datafile

    Good afternoon,
    As an exercise, I created a tablespace STORETABS and added a datafile to it using the command:
    SQL> alter tablespace storetabs add datafile 'e:/storetabs3.dbf' size 50M;This step succeeded. A new file was created in the root of e: as expected.
    Following that command, I issued:
    SQL> alter tablespace storetabs drop datafile 'e:/storetabs3.dbf';
    Tablespace altered.The command succeeded. However, the file *'e:/storetabs3.dbf'* was not removed. After re-reading the documentation found at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_3002.htm, I get the impression that removing the O/S file itself is something that always needs to be done manually.
    The question: Am I correct that there is no option to cause the "alter tablespace <tablespace> drop datafile <datafilename>" to delete the O/S file ? In other words, must the O/S file always be manually deleted as a separate step ?
    Thank you for your help,
    John.

    I believe in windows directory paths used backslash and not forward slash.
    You can argue why oracle does not give error, either while creating or while dropping ;)

  • Recovery with some tablespaces/datafiles excluded

    Hi,
    I want to restore/recover my db on a new host with some tablespaces/datafiles excluded...
    I have backups on tape but don't have enough disk space on my new host to restore database fully, is it possible I exclude/skip some tablespaces/datafiles?
    Thanks

    thanks tychos,
    I run the sql you told brefore restore database but It seems It's going to restore datafiles that I don't need again... I don't have enough space to restore all datafiles. My rman script looks like this:
    run {
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE sbt PARMS='...';
    SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '+DATA/oradata/test/system01.dbf';
    SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO '+DATA/oradata/test/undotbs01.dbf';
    SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 3 TO '+DATA/oradata/test/cwmlite01.dbf';
    #SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 4 TO '+DATA/oradata/test/drsys01.dbf';
    #SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 5 TO '+DATA/oradata/test/example01.dbf';
    #SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 6 TO '+DATA/oradata/test/indx01.dbf';
    sql 'alter database datafile 4,5,6 offline drop';
    SET UNTIL SCN 123456;
    RESTORE DATABASE;
    SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
    RECOVER DATABASE;
    }

  • My TEMPORARY TABLESPACE DATAFILE was lost

    I completely lost temporary tablespace datafile,
    what should I do?
    (there is no backup)

    It is just a temporary tablespace, who cares. Just drop the tablespace and re-create it.

  • Undo Tablespace Datafile is corrupted

    Here's my case:
    - our Oracle 9i R2 database is running in NOARCHIVE mode in Windows 2000 plateform.
    - the Undo Tablespace datafile corrupted in the filesystem level (it gives "cyclic redundancy check" error when trying to copy or read from the file). Therefore database cannot startup.
    - There is no backup files.
    - I tried to create an Undo Tablespace to replace the existing one in the MOUNT state. That was not of course possible.
    - I tried to use ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE '' AS '' statement, but it couldn't work because the original file is corrupted.
    How can I solve the problem and make the database startup?
    Thanks in advance.

    This is a very bad situation, here's a statement from an Oracle note:
    If the rollback segment datafile is physically missing, has been offlined
    dropped, or the rollback segment header itself is corrupt, there is no way to
    dump the transaction table to check for active transactions. So the only thing
    to do is get the database open, export and rebuild. Log an iTar to engage support
    to help with this process.
    If you cannot get the database open, there is no other alternative than
    restoring from a backup. ...
    So you should contact Oracle support.

  • Datafile drop

    Hi all,
    How i drop a datafile when tablespace is online ?

    thks.Its not possible before 11.1. If you would be using the command alter...datafile drop , it wont drop the datafile even if the message would be a success. Only from 11.1, if the datafile is empty, the above command would be able to drop the datafile.

  • Datafile Drop problem

    Hi all,
    Oracle Version: 10.2.0.1
    Os: Windows Server 2003
    Scenario: I mistakenly add datafile in a tablespace and now i want to drop that datafile but getting error
    ORA-02142: missing or invalid ALTER TABLESPACE option
    But when i try the same scenario on another machine i am able to do that
    The other machine specifications are also same.
    Command is
    SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE TABLESPACE_NAME DROP DATAFILE 'DATAFILE_NAME'
    Can anyone suggest me the reason.
    Regards,
    Vikas Kohli

    I hope that you verify that the datafile really does not contain extents.
    Else, you might find that the command drops the datafiles even with extents present, resulting in incomplete data !!
    See Oracle Support Article Bug 7022905 - Alter tablespace drop datafile drops can corrupt the database [7022905.8] and Bug 7022905.

  • Move an undo tablespace datafile while online

    Having a spirited debate at work today. Is it possible, or has anyone successfully moved an undo tablespace datafile while keeping the database online? (Hypothetically someone created it in the wrong directory)
    My logic:
    Create a new undo tablespace B
    Switch undo tablespace from A to B
    Take tablespace A offline
    Once A goes from 'PENDING OFFLINE' to 'OFFLINE' copy the file to new location
    Alter database rename file location
    Switch undo tablespace from B to A
    Drop tablespace B
    Any comments?

    Yes I do understood that, but you don't have to "move" the datafile.
    The procedure I proposed is just to create a new undo tablespace, drop the former and forget about it.
    You can't "move" the file stricto sensu while the database is online, but nothing prevents you from switching from one tablespace to another. Once it's done, everything's fine. And if you're on 10G (r2?) you might even rename tablespace "B" to tablespace "A"!

  • RMAN duplicate target database for standby from active fails to create newname for system tablespace/datafile

    When executing 'duplicate target database for standby from active'  the system tablespace/datafile (datafile 1)  is not cloned.  All other datafiles clone successfully.  The RMAN process aborts with the following errors while attempting to clone the system tablespace/datafile.
    ORA-19558: error de-allocating device
    ORA-19557: device error, device type: DISK, device name:
    ORA-17627: ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist
    ORA-17627: ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist
    ORA-03135: connection lost contact
    Here are the details:
    Primary is 11.2.0.2 RAC database  on an Exadata platform
    Standby is 11.2.0.2 Single Instance database (same patch level as primary) on a Red Hat Linux box
    This is an ASM to ASM duplication.
    This is not unique to this database.  We tried another database and go the same behavior - all datafiles clone successfully with the exception of the system tablespace/datafile.
    We have traced the RMAN execution and it seems to fail when it is trying to assign a NEWNAME to the system tablespace/datafile.
    We even issued an explicit SET NEWNAME command but RMAN ignored it.
    We also shutdown the primary and started is up in mount mode thinking that something had ahold of the System Tablespace/datafile.
    We also opened up the network firewall to allow permit any,any traffic.
    We increased the max_server_processes
    and added TCP.NODELAY=yes to the sqlnet.ora file.
    There seems to be some artifact present in our Primary System tablespace/data file that is preventing it form being cloned.
    checked all alert files grid, asm,  and dbhome - no abnormal messages.
    We are in the process of restoring the database from a backup but we would prefer to get this working using the 'Active Database' methodology

    I successfully created the standby database using RMAN backup and recovery.
    I started the managed recovery.  Archive logs are being sent from the primary to the standby ( I can see them in ASM), but the standby is not applying them.
    I get the following messages in the standby alert log...

  • Recover Database vrs Recover Tablespace & Datafile

    Traditionally when I have been recovering a database either to point of failure or point in time I have issued
    RECOVER DATABASE AUTO;
    (or I have specified the point in time I wish to recover to ).
    I see now in 11gR2 there is also a RECOVER TABLESPACE and a RECOVER DATAFILE command
    Why would you use those instead of the RECOVER DATABASE ? You would have to be pretty sure it is only that tablespace or data file you wanted to apply archive logs to, otherwise would your recovery not risk putting the contents of that tablespace or datafile out of logical sync with the data in other tablespaces ( eg potentially viloating referential integrity etc ) ?
    I am presuming these commands also only apply the contents of archive logs that effect the specified tablespace or datafile ?
    thanks,
    Jim

    If I issue a RECOVER TABLESPACE or RECOVER DATAFILE for a Tablespace or Datafile that is current and does not need recovery, Oracle does nothing to the Tablespace / Datafile. It won't be out of logical sync with the rest of the database.
    >>>
    Can you recover the data file or the tablespace to a point in time before the current time ? If that is the case then surely it is possible that the recovered tablespace could have a table in it that has referential integrity to another table in a different ( unrecovered ) tablespace and that the referential integrity could then be compromised ?

    8.3.4 Renaming a Datafile in the Primary Database
    When you rename one or more datafiles in the primary database, the change is not propagated to the standby database. Therefore, if you want to rename the same datafiles on the standby database, you must manually make the equivalent modifications on the standby database because the modifications are not performed automatically, even if the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO.
    The following steps describe how to rename a datafile in the primary database and manually propagate the changes to the standby database.
       1.
          To rename the datafile in the primary database, take the tablespace offline:
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 OFFLINE;
       2.
          Exit from the SQL prompt and issue an operating system command, such as the following UNIX mv command, to rename the datafile on the primary system:
          % mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf
          /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
       3.
          Rename the datafile in the primary database and bring the tablespace back online:
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 RENAME DATAFILE      2> '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
            3>  TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
          SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 ONLINE;
       4.
          Connect to the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify all of the archived redo log files are applied, and then stop Redo Apply:
          SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
          SEQUENCE# APP
          8 YES
          9 YES
          10 YES
          11 YES
          4 rows selected.
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
       5.
          Shut down the standby database:
          SQL> SHUTDOWN;
       6.
          Rename the datafile at the standby site using an operating system command, such as the UNIX mv command:
          % mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
       7.
          Start and mount the standby database:
          SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
       8.
          Rename the datafile in the standby control file. Note that the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter must be set to MANUAL.
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
            2> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
       9.
          On the standby database, restart Redo Apply:
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
            2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
    If you do not rename the corresponding datafile at the standby system, and then try to refresh the standby database control file, the standby database will attempt to use the renamed datafile, but it will not find it. Consequently, you will see error messages similar to the following in the alert log:
    ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
    ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock datafile 4 - see DBWR trace file
    ORA-01110: datafile 4: '/Disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf'Hope That Helps.

    How can you be sure that 7.5 Mio records fit into your
    tablespace?
    Have you considered the size of your tables, the overhead, the
    indexes?
    You can do it a priori if you know how oracle stores data, but it
    is easier to load 100000 records into a dedicated tablespace,
    then sum up the consumed space (select ... from dba_segments).
    Don't do that as user system unless you have a very good reason
    to do so.

  • Restoring a tablespace/datafile to a previous date ?

    Hello everyone ,

    consider this very real possible situation:
    TablespaceA contains table PURCHASE_ORDERS
    TablespaceB contains table PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_ITEMS, with a FK back to PURCHASE_ORDERS.

  • EM for tablespace datafile autoexend issue

    Dear Support,
    I need your advise can i configure tablespace datafile autoextend when reach 85 percent instead of 100 percent. Do you know where can find more information about justification of datafile autoextend only work when reach 100 percent. Hope to hear soon. Thanks

    Autoextend is a 'last escape' measure. You should not use it to let files grow. You should use extents correctly sized. Autoextend is only there to make sure that you don't get immediate problems when your files are full.
    I also have thought about this , So I tried the following:
    I created a tablespace with 3 files, all 3 autoextending and equal in size, locally managed and uniform in extent size (notice the difference between an extent and an extended file!). Extend next and maxsize are also made equal for all files.
    now I created tables in the tablespace (forcing the creation of 1 extent per table to my ts is filled up without having to insert real data). the 1st 3 fit in the tablespace as it was created. When creating the 4th table, it didn't fit any more and the 2nd file got extended (why this one? It looks like an arbitrary decision by Oracle). after that, each second table I created extended the 2nd file (only) of the tablespace. (the reason why this happened after every second table is because oracle extended the file so that it would fit 2 extents, thus 2 new tables of 1 extend).
    My quick conclusion, don't use autoextend, unless for a last resort. You should use correctly sized files, tablespaces and extents. autoextend is only there to make sure you don't have to do 'maintenance in the middle of the night' (free interpretation of Tom Kyte (asktom.com) :) ).
    BTW, if you really want to do (dynamic) striping in Oracle, the only way (I know) is to create multiple tablespaces each on another disk and create a hash or composite partitioned table where each of the hash-partitions are located in a different tablespace. Normal tables are never striped by Oracle! Alternatively you can let the OS stripe 1 datafile over multiple disks. You could also every now and then recreate the tablespace over multiple files so data from a normal table is distributed evenly, but this is quite a hassle.
    I have also had a look though some oracle books and on the net and can't like you find a definitive answer regarding when the Oracle Db makes the decision to add another datafile ?
