Tablespace full

Hi,
When I repeatedly delete table entries and keep entries in dat files (on unix) and retrieve back those entries using sqlldr, the tablespace gets full even though table is empty. After a while, sqlldr fails to load because of tablespace full. If I increase tablespace for those tables, again after a while they gets full. Could anybody please tell me how to free table spaces.

It's a misconception that if you delete from tables the 'space' is now available. That is not necessary the case.
You also have to take into consideration the parameters that the tablespace was created with. It may be trying to allocation more space than is available.
There is also the problem of fragmentation.
If possible either add another datafile to the tablespace, or export the database , drop the tables, and drop and re-create the tablespace (with more space and parameters exactly as you want)

Tablespace full, mostly due to recyclebin

We have a tablespace that has become full (ORA-01653: unable to extend table xxx by 64 in tablespace ODI_WORK)
There is about 24GB of recycle-bin objects in that tablespace.
According to the Database Administrators Guide (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/tables011.htm#sthref2311) says:
Dropped tables and any associated objects such as indexes, constraints, nested tables, and the likes are not removed and still occupy space. They continue to count against user space quotas, until specifically purged from the recycle bin or the unlikely situation where they must be purged by the database because of tablespace space constraints.
So, we have apparently reached the space constraints; why were the objects not purged?
select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

The space held by dropped objects is reusable so you should remove this figure in your space management queries. If an object needs an extent and there are not renough free extents to hold the request extents will be taken from the recycle bin to fill the request. You should not have to purge the recycle bin to make free extents however I am in favor or purging objects that you know will not need to be restored.

Temp tablespace full at startup

Hi,
my temp tablespace appears full at database startup. I know it is full because the collecting statistics process can not be executed since temp tablespace can not grow (autoextend off). I had to add another temp datafile to get the statistics but first one continues full after each restart.
Is this any signal of malfunction?
Thanks for all.
Greetings.

ok. I think all is understood.
DBMS_STATS.GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS probably needed more disk than 1.5 GB (my old temp tablespace), so the result was
ERROR en línea 1:
ORA-01652: no se ha podido ampliar el segmento temporal con 128 en el
tablespace TEMP
ORA-06512: en "SYS.DBMS_STATS", línea 9136
ORA-06512: en "SYS.DBMS_STATS", línea 9616

ORA-06512: en "SYS.DBMS_STATS", línea 9854
ORA-06512: en "SYS.DBMS_STATS", línea 9831
ORA-06512: en línea 1
Then adding new datafile (1.5 GB more) process could finish. Database continues growing, process always had finished not yesterday: the day of needing full temp tablespace came.
Tell me if I am wrong.
Thanks a lot.

SYSTEM tablespace full

Hi,
I am new to Oracle database. Currently I am using Oracle 10g version 10.2.0.4. I noticed that the SYSTEM tablespace is 100%, may I know what's the impact to the database server? Will it slow down all the transactions to process?
Thanks.

Your car won't run fast or slow if your gas tank is completely full or half full! The tablespace being full or not completely full won't decide the performance of the database. Since the tablespace is System tablespace which is supposed to store the data dictionary, it being full may hinder the working of the database since there is no more space left the dictionary. But if you would purely do queries without doing any changes at all, those queries performance won't be determined from the tablespace, whichever it may be, being full or not being full.
That said, this is a rather wrong criteria to check the performance. If you want to check performance, first take a feedback from the users and than get a report using Statspack or AWR( if you have license for it) and see what does the report says. If you find anything wrong in it than only imagine it as an issue and try to fix it.

Temporary tablespace full

My temporary tablespace is full, i dont know if i should drop the tablespace and re-cretae a new one or extend the the size of the file available

hi Olu,
You will only need to worry if you start to see errors in the alert log file. If you don't then temp being full is not an issue.

SYSAUX tablespace full and snapshots not deleted

hi all,
I am on 10g linux.
1) my sysaux tablespace is full and i realize there are many awr snapshots lying around.
so i went to my OEM console -> Automatic Workload Repository and this are basically my settings
Snapshot Retention (days) 7
Snapshot Interval (minutes) 60
Collection Level TYPICAL
Next Snapshot Capture Time Sep 25, 2012 8:27:41 AM
However, when i check the amount of snapshots
->
Manage Snapshots and Preserved Snapshot Sets
Snapshots 247
Preserved Snapshot Sets 0
Latest Snapshot Time Sep 25, 2012 7:27:41 AM
Earliest Snapshot Time Jun 27, 2012 10:20:16 PM
q1) i have got 247 snapshots dated as early as Jun 27 but i am only retaining 7 days of snapshots ?
7 * 24 (1 hour snapshot frequency) != 247
there is no snapshot baseline also.
q2) why my latest snapshot time is dated way back to sept 25 ? is it because my sysaux is full for a longtime thus no more snapshot can be taken ? but i thought the retention of 7 days will remove obsolete snapshots ?
Please advise.
Regards,
Noob

Hi,
there are some problem in delete AWR stats.
For example, if the delete takes more 5 minute it's interrupted.
Look which component grows using awrinfo.sql under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
You may execute the delete procedure manually than move and rebuild the tables.

SYSAUX tablespace full

Hi,
What will happen if SYSAUX tablespace size is full and we do not increase the size?
Will the database hang or continue to run?
AFAIK if SYSTEM tablespace is full then database gets hanged.
Edited by: oratest on Feb 13, 2010 11:00 PM

If sysaux tblsp is full, the database would still remain operational except the functionality associated with AWR will not work. I would expect that the snapshots that by default gets gathered every hour cannot be stored anymore unless you increase the sysaux tablespace size.
Your database users would still be able to work normally though.

Undo tablespace full even with no active transaction and undo_retention 10s

The 9.2.0.4 instance is AUM (auto undo management). The undo table space is 50G and is almost full.
I have set the undo_retention to 10, previously it was 10800 (3hours). I restart the database. Wait quite long time.
And search on the dba_undo_extents.
select sum(bytes/(1024*1024*1024)),status from dba_undo_extents d where d.tablespace_name='UNDOTBS2' group by status;
SUM(BYTES/(1024*1024*1024)) STATUS
.574447632 EXPIRED
45.5358887 UNEXPIRED
It is hard to explain. 10 seconds already passed, at least all the extents should be expired.
Why so many 45G is still unexpried.
Is there a bug for undo tablespace? how to fix it.
It is a rac instance, I am trouble shooting the undo tablespace issues.
The UNDOTBS2 is for node2 to use.

If you start the database in exclusive (one instance) mode then the database instance can have only one undo tablespace so I would not expect Oracle to do anything with the undo tablespace for the non-running instance.
Run you database as normal and generate undo. See if the status changes. If if does that would imply that Oracle does not expire undo unless the undo segments (rbs segments) are accessed. Please post back with results of what you see.
Between having batch production running on all my databases that use undo tablespaces and the fact we use uniform extent undo tabllespaces I am not in a position to try to duplicate what you are seeing.

Tablespace full, but actually there still are huge space free

Oracle alert "Tablespace [BITEMP] only has [0 megabytes ] free space", but actually there still are huge space free.
I create three datafiles(20g / datafile). One of them is full, the others are free.
Why?

Calling a person 'dear' is IMO too a familiar/intimate form of address in a support forum frequented by software professionals.
In the same vein, "I M" speak is not acceptable either. This is not instant message communication. We are not restricted to a difficult to use mobile phone keypad. We are not restricted in message size.
In fact, as software professionals we all know just how important it is to convey information accurately and correctly when dealing with technical issues. There is no place for "I M" speak in such an environment.
I kindly suggest that you give consideration to these points.

Actions to take when tablespace full.

Hello,
I ran the following script against my database in order to know what tablespace is 80% full:
select     tsu.tablespace_name "Tablespace"
*, ceil(tsu.used_mb) "Size MB"*
*, 100 - floor(tsf.free_mb/tsu.used_mb*100) "%Used"*
*, ceil((tsu.used_mb - tsf.free_mb) / .8) - tsu.used_mb "Add (80%)"*
from       (select tablespace_name, sum(bytes)/1024/1024 used_mb
from    dba_data_files group by tablespace_name) tsu
*, (select ts.tablespace_name*
*, nvl(sum(bytes)/1024/1024, 0) free_mb*
from    dba_tablespaces ts, dba_free_space fs
where   ts.tablespace_name = fs.tablespace_name (+)
group by ts.tablespace_name) tsf
where      tsu.tablespace_name = tsf.tablespace_name (+)
and        100 - floor(tsf.free_mb/tsu.used_mb100) >= 80*
order      by 3,4
The result was the following:
Tablespace                        Size MB      %Used Add (80%)
SYSAUX                                410         96         80

What actions should I take in order to avoidtroubles ahead, particularly with the SYSAUX and the SYSTEM tablespaces?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You can set threshold for warning and critical alerts and add additional datafile if needed to grow this tablespaces. Use following query to determine how much free space you got in SYSTEM tablespace or any other tablespace
SELECT ddf.tablespace_name,
       ddf.file_name,
       ROUND (SUM (ddf.bytes / (1024 * 1024 * 1024)), 2) "Used (GB)",
       ROUND (SUM (dfs.bytes / (1024 * 1024 * 1024)), 2) "Free (GB)"
FROM dba_free_space dfs, dba_data_files ddf
WHERE ddf.file_id = dfs.file_id AND ddf.tablespace_name = 'SYSTEM'
GROUP BY ddf.file_name, ddf.tablespace_name;Regards

"Event test "Tablespace full" failed: syntax" on some databases

On OEM 9i (9.2) I have got some failed events due to syntax.
I use the same event also for other databases where it works fine.

Apps_ts_queues tablespace full error

We had an issue last night where archive space filled and everything stopped until this morning when we cleared the disk space. Since that time we are getting the following error when opening previous requests in Apps
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01653: unable to extend table APPLSYS.WF_JAVA_DEFERRED by 16 in tablespace APPS_TS_QUEUES
I ran
SELECT tablespace_name, sum(bytes) free FROM DBA_FREE_SPACE
group by tablespace_name;
and it doesn't show any near 0 free however it doesn't show the APPS_TS_QUEUES tablespace in that list also.
Where else can I look to see what is currently going on? If you click OK on the error it will give another about recent data etc and then open the previous service request you were trying to view.
dba_tables has 10 in the pct_free column min extent is 131072 next extent 131072 and max extent as 2147483645
Thanks

Hi,
What is the database version?
I went ahead and added another datafile to the DB but I don't feel as if that queues datafile of 4GB should have really filled completely. Has anyone experienced this or is it normal for that tablespace to grow that large?It is normal for the tablespace to grow that large, so add more space to the existing datafile(s) or new datafile(s) and see if you get the same error or not.

Undo Tablespace Full.

Hello,
The size of my UNDOTS is 6 GB and undo_retention=21600.
After last application upgrade, we the size of UNDOTS are full and we can't fixit and it create a problem, I open a TAR within Oracle and after two days they don't propose any solution.
Is there any possibility (an Oracle view) that we can see all transaction inside the UDOTS?
For you information, even I increase the size to 9 GB and I reduce the undo_retention=14400, the result are the same full UNDOTS.
Thanks for your suggestion and proposition, it's in production

The following query/report will help you estimate the amount of undo you require, based on your undo_retention, largest transaction, and block size. If the report shows you need more undo space than you have allocated, then you probably need to increase the amount of undo space or reduce the undo_retention. Pay special attention to the occurances of snapshot too old (ora-01555) and no space.
