Tablespace in oracle 8.1.6

we had an oracle server running in linux machine.im maintaining 4 databases on it. we dont create tablespaces for each of them. so the default tablespace of all my schema is using the tablespace 'system'. i reconfigure by creating users for default tablespace and temp for temporary. when i create a new user
i follow this syntax
create username identified by password
default tablespace users
temporary tablespace temp;
grant connect,resource to username;
why is it when i open my oem. my table for that user still uses the system tablespace not the user tablespace which i define.
regards
jerome

jerome,
I assume from what you said about "reconfiguring", the problem could be because you changed the default tablespace after you created those tables.
drop and recreate those tables after setting the default tablespace. or else
use this syntax to move tables to new tablespaces.
alter table table1 move tablespace users;
make sure you have given quota to create objects in users tablespace to the new user.
alter user user1 default tablespace users;
alter user user1 quota 10m on tablespace users;
after you set the default tablespace any new created will go to that tablespace.
this should work.

How to relocate table in new tablespace in Oracle 8i

Hi all
I would like to know how to relocate table from one tablespace to another tablespace in Oracle 8i. Currently, I create new table without data in new tablespace and then load data from old table in old tablespace. However, I think it is not efficient at all. Could anyone kindly advise any method to proceed it
Thanks

Nick has pointed out the best way to relocate a table. With the alter table move command you do not have to worry about FK or any other kind of constraints, table triggers, or grants. They all remain in place. You just need to rebuild the indexes as Nick pointed out.
There were some restrictions on the types of tables that could be moved with alter table move when the command first was introduced. I think LOB columns were unsupported at first. The old exp/imp had to be used for those cases.

How to find Fragmentation of tables and tablespaces in oracle 8i

Hi,
How can i measure the fragmentation of Tables and Tablespaces in oracle 8i.
Do any one have any handy script to find the same.

Can I import a tablespace into Oracle 10g Express Edition

I am very new to Oracle 10g Express Edition. We have a server running Oracle Enterprise Edition and we have been creating a transportable tablespace to be imported into a few servers. This works fine for us. I would like to find out if I can import the tablespace into Oracle 10g Express Edition. Someone told me that I should be able to do that but I have no clue to how to do it. If this is possible, can someone tell where to find the information how to do this.
Thanks,
RJ

I finally tried it and I got the following errors:
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 721:
"BEGIN sys.dbms_plugts.checkCompType('COMPATSG','10.2.0.2.0'); END;"

Am I right that the server that I exported the tablespace is using Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 while Oracle Express is 10.2.0.1.0? I looked around and I did not see Oracle Express version 10.2.0.2.0 that I can download. Is there a patch or something to upgrade it?

Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition?

Hi,
Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition instead of using the default "users" tablespace provided?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Correct. The sum of all user tablespaces is not allowed to exceed 4 GIG.
You could try shrinking your tablespaces. Theres a script called maxshrink on http://asktom.oracle.com which is useful for this.
You could compress your tables.
If you are storing lobs, you could consider storing them as bfiles.
Or upgrade to Oracle Standard Edition 1. Its not that expensive.

Drop tablespace in Oracle 8i

I want to know how to drop tablespace in Oracle 8i.
Actually i read on internet that we cannot drop tablespace in oracle 8i.
Is that true?
How can i drop the tablespace in 8i?
Thanks,

8i does have a DROP TABLESPACE command. What it does not have is the "AND DATAFILES" clause. Thus, it will not remove the datafiles at the OS layer (eg filesystem).

Temporary tablespace in oracle 8i

hi,
i am working in oracle 8.1.7.4.0.i am creating a temporary tablespace.
After creating the temp tablespace i am going to assign it as default temporary tablespace.
alter database default temporary tablespace <tbs-name>;
but its showing error...as
ora-02231 - missing or invalid option to alter database,
how to assign the default temporary tablespace in this oracle version.
Rgds...

You can not set the temporary tablespace at the database level as default temporary tablespace in Oracle 8i. From Oracle 9i onwards, you can create and assign the temporary tablespace at the database level.
Only possible way in Oracle 8i is at the user level.
i.e.
SQL> alter user scott default tablespace TEMP;

What is the use of SYSAUX Tablespace in Oracle 10G

Dear Experts,
Please Tell me What is the use of SYSAUX Tablespace in Oracle 10G Because
during Web Load Testing It is going to increase countinuosly.Although i am not using this with any tables.
How Can I find out the what is gong on in this.
Can I Remove this tablesspace and other non using Schemas like FLOWS_020100,MDSYS,OUTLN,DIP and TSMSYS etc.

What is SYSAUX?
The SYSAUX tablespace provides storage of non-sys-related tables and indexes that traditionally were placed in the SYSTEM tablespace. For example, the tables and indexes that were previously owned by the system user can now be specified for a SYSAUX tablespace. Unfortunately, Oracle still places the SCOTT schema and the other demonstration schemas in the SYSTEM tablespace. Go figure.
The SYSAUX tablespace is specified with the CREATE DATABASE command. This is demonstrated in the example database creation script in Figure 1.1.
CREATE DATABASE test
MAXINSTANCES 1
MAXLOGHISTORY 1
MAXLOGFILES 5
MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
MAXDATAFILES 100
DATAFILE '/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/system01.dbf' SIZE 300M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10240K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
SYSAUX DATAFILE '/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/sysaux01.dbf' SIZE 120M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10240K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP TEMPFILE '/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/temp01.dbf' SIZE 20M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 640K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
UNDO TABLESPACE "UNDOTBS1" DATAFILE '/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/undotbs01.dbf' SIZE 200M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 5120K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED

GROUP 2 ('/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/redo02.log') SIZE 10240K,
GROUP 3 ('/usr/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/aultdb1/test/redo03.log') SIZE 10240K
USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY "password" USER SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BY "password";
Oracle10g sysaux
With the new SYSAUX tablespace, Oracle comes closer to providing all the needed tablespaces for a truly OFA-compliant database right out of the box. With just one CREATE DATABASE command we can specify the SYSTEM tablespace, the TEMPORARY tablespace, the AUXSYS tablespace, the default UNDO tablespace, and the redo logs.
Of course, with the Oracle Managed Files option you can create an entire database with a single command, but the database created is not suitable for production use and is not OFA-compliant.
The SYSAUX tablespace is required in all new 10g databases. Only the SYSAUX tablespace datafile location is specified. Oracle specifies the remainder of the tablespace properties including:
online
permanent
read write
extent managment local
segment space management auto
If a datafile is specified for the SYSTEM tablespace, then one must be specified for the SYSAUX tablespace as well. If one is not specified, then the CREATE DATABASE command will fail. The only exception is for an Oracle Managed File system.
During any update of a database to Oracle Database 10g, a SYSAUX tablespace must be created or the upgrade will fail. The SYSAUX tablespace has the same security profile as the SYSTEM tablespace. However, loss of the SYSAUX tablespace will not result in a database crash, only the functional loss of the schemas it contains.

Fragmentation in tablespace in oracle 9i

Hi All,
We have oracle 9.2.0.8 installed in solaris 9, database size is 1.5 TB, we are looking for the tablespaces which are suffering from the fragmentation.
We have locally manged tablesapaces in the database. so can you please tell me, is there any tablespace fragmentation in the locally managed tablespace in oracle 9i, and if it is there than how to relove the situation.?
thanks in advance

If you mean by fragmentation, a number of free space areas in the data files - sometimes called honeycombing, this script will show them to you.
SELECT 'free space'      owner,
        ' '               object,
        ' '               obj_type,
        f.file_name,
        s.file_id,
        s.block_id,
        s.blocks,
        s.bytes/1048576   mbytes
FROM dba_free_space s,
        dba_data_files f
WHERE s.file_id = &file_id
   AND s.file_id = f.file_id
UNION
SELECT owner,
        segment_name,
        DECODE(segment_type, 'TABLE',          'T',
                             'INDEX',          'I',
                             'ROLLBACK',       'RB',
                             'CACHE',          'CH',
                             'CLUSTER',        'CL',
                             'LOBINDEX',       'LI',
                             'LOBSEGMENT',     'LS',
                             'TEMPORARY',      'TY',
                             'NESTED TABLE',   'NT',
                             'TYPE2 UNDO',     'U2',
                             'TABLE PARTITION','TP',
                             'INDEX PARTITION','IP', '?'),
        f.file_name,
        s.file_id,
        s.block_id,
        s.blocks,
        s.bytes/1048576
FROM dba_extents s,
        dba_data_files f
WHERE s.file_id = &file_id
   AND s.file_id = f.file_id
ORDER
    BY file_id,
        block_id
However, when you look at the report you will see that in a locally managed tablespace, all of the free space 'chunks' are all 8 blocks, or a multiple of 8 blocks. This means that all of these free space chunks are able to be (re)used. And, they will be used. There is no need to do anything unless there is a pressing need to give disk back to the OS.

How to define tablespaces in Oracle 10g and how put tables on tablespaces

Hello,
I'm having trouble to define the structure of tablespaces and how to distribute the tables/indexes/lobs on these tablespaces.
Do you know some rules on how to define this?
What I have until now:
1) Put table indexes in separate tablespace
2) Put lobs in separate tablespace and use storage clause when defining the lob column. Not sure how many tablespaces to use, I have tables with millions of lobs and tables with just one lob (with row containing the lob).
3) Please fill more rules here ...
Thank you, Alex.

Long story: I received database and schema creation scripts defined in Oracle 9i. I want to redesign the tablespaces number/storage and also to change the distribution of tables into tablespaces.
As an example I will show how tablespaces are created now. There is one tablespace for indexes BLUE_AUTO_INDX and one for each EXTENT MANAGEMENT of:
- 64K for BLOB , name BLUE_K064_BLOB
- 64K for tables , name K064_NTAB
- 128K for tables, name BLUE_K128_NTAB
- 512K for CLOB , name BLUE_K512_CLOB
- 4M for BLOB , name BLUE_M004_BLOB
- 64M for CLOB , name BLUE_M064_CLOB
- 8M for tables , name BLUE_M008_NTAB
- 1M for tables , name BLUE_M001_NTAB
- 256M for tables, name BLUE_M256_NTAB
Definition of each tablespace is like:
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_AUTO_INDX DATAFILE 'BLUE_AUTO_INDX01.DBF' SIZE 200M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 100M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_K064_BLOB DATAFILE 'BLUE_K064_BLOB01.DBF' SIZE 20M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64K SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_K064_NTAB DATAFILE 'BLUE_K064_NTAB01.DBF' SIZE 20M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 20M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64K SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;

CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_M064_CLOB DATAFILE 'BLUE_M064_CLOB01.DBF' SIZE 400M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 100M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 64M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_M008_NTAB DATAFILE 'BLUE_M008_NTAB01.DBF' SIZE 200M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 100M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 8M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_M001_NTAB DATAFILE 'BLUE_M001_NTAB01.DBF' SIZE 100M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 50M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
CREATE TABLESPACE BLUE_M256_NTAB DATAFILE 'BLUE_M256_NTAB01.DBF' SIZE 512M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 256M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 256M SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;
Does this structure of tablespaces ok? I mean if the logic of one tablespace for different EXTENT SIZEs looks ok?

SQL*PLUS console not coming back when create a tablespace in ORACLE RAC11g

Hi all,
I have run a create command in oracle RAC 11g system (2 nodes, ASM) by SQL*PLUS, every datafile for this tablespace is 1.5GB, I want to create 6 tablespace at the first:
1. It run successfully for the first tablespace , it toook 4-5 minutes to come back;
2. It run much longer time for the second tablespace , it took over 20 minutes to come back;
3. The third tablespace , I waited for 45 minutes and it didn't come back.
I have check in alert.log, and saw all three tablespace were successfully created about 4-5 minutes. And I also use another SQL*PLUS to query in user_tablespaces. the third tablespace did display in user_tablespaces view.
From that time, I tried 4,5,6, it took me 30 minutes to create 1.5GB big tablespace. It doesn't make sense for me.
Any sugguestion? Thanks.

How did they create the disk group?
How big are the devices/LUNs?
are all of the LUNS the same size?
Check the alert log for both the RDBMS and ASM.
What redundancy did they use?
in asmca, what is the total size of the disk group(s)? ( or sum total_mb from v$asm_diskgroup for each disk group)

How to deal with tablespaces in Oracle XE (10g)

Hi,
First want to say I'm not a DBA so my knowledge on how to work with tablespaces is very limited. I built an application in Apex 3.2.1 on Oracle XE 10g and today for the first time I received this error when trying to save information to the database:
ORA-01691: Unable to extend lob segment by .... for table space FLOW....
What is the best way to deal with this? For now, after doing some google searching, I set my tablespace to AUTOEXTEND (it had reached about 500MB which was its max size). Is this the correct way to deal with this situation? Or should I create a new tablespace? I've never changed any of the default settings/tablespaces that came with the Apex/Oracle XE installation.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks,
Francois

ORA-01691: Unable to extend lob segment by .... for table space FLOW....
It seem related to tablespace is full and not able to extend more due to low hdd space or autoextend off or xe datasize limit(4g) reached!!!!
SELECT sum(BYTES/1024)/1024 AS SIZE_IN_MB FROM DBA_DATA_FILES;
SIZE_IN_MB must not be more then 4gb
If SIZE_IN_MB is less then 4g then check that Autoextend is off or on.
I hope this help

Create tablespace in Oracle 10g Express

Hi,
I've been playing around over the last few days with Oracle 10g Express and I need to create my own tablespace and therefore create user associated with my custom table space.
I tried with the command create tablespace, but I am not successful with configuring the parameters such as the datafile location and such. I did go through the Oracle Concepts Guide which was very helpful, but I must be missing something.
Also assuming that my db scheme will be part of my application and therefore released to my client as script so they can re-create my database how would the table space integration work on their end.
I would I have to place my first line of the script to create the table space and ask them for database file location?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

The reason why I think I should create my own tablespace is because I am creating a database scheme and thus I think it is appropriate to place my db scheme in its own tablespace instead of simply using the Users tablespace default.

Thank you.How about checking with the fine SQL Reference manual for the syntax of the CREATE TABLESPACE command?
Learning where to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com. Drill down to your product and version.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

Move tables (some with LONG datatypes) across tablespaces in Oracle 9i

I have a 14GB tablespace which about 3,000 tables (and only tables) in. Only 2.6GB is used so I would like to resize the tablespace to about 3GB initially.
I moved the tables with "alter table <owner>.<tablename> move tablespace <tablespace>" and this worked for most of the tables but failed on some with this kind of error:
alter table IFSAPP.COMMAND_SYS_BUFFER_TAB move tablespace IFSAPP_DATA_TEMP
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatypeI then moved the other tables back to the original a little frustrated.
Further reading suggested exporting and importing the tables is the way to go.
I prefer the alter table because Oracle manages the lock whilst it moves. If I export and import, the table could change in between, potentially ending with me importing an old copy, couldn't it? [It seems neigh on impossible to guarantee an available window to do much!]
So I though I could you the alter table move for ALL tables and those that are left, use export/import, to minimise the risk.
How should I proceed?
1) Create TEMP_TABLESPACE as 3GB
2) "alter table ... move tablespace ..." for all tables in ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE to TEMP_TABLESPACE
3) For the remaining tables, individually:
a) lock table (not sure how)
b) export table: exp user/pass tables=tablename file=exp.dmp rows=yes
c) drop table
d) create table in TEMP_TABLESPACE*
e) import table: imp user/pass tables=tablename
* this means I need to know how to re-create the table. It also means views and indexes and packages are going to become invalid.
4) drop tablespace ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE
5) Create ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE as 3GB
6) "alter table ... move tablespace ..." for all tables in TEMP_TABLESPACE to ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE
7) For the remaining tables, individually:
a) lock table (not sure how)
b) export table: exp user/pass tables=tablename file=exp.dmp rows=yes
c) drop table
d) create table in ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE
e) import table: imp user/pass tables=tablename
This seems high risk and messy.
Has anyone advice or tips to make it simpler?
As it stands I am considering leaving alone, the risks worry me!
Thanks

Interesting idea.. so this would create a temporary table in the temporary tablespace.
Rather than set the default tablespace, can I merely add the tablespace clause?
COPY FROM user/password@database CREATE TmpTblName TABLESPACE TmpTablespace USING SELECT
* FROM Table_name;
Either way - can you confirm for each table, I would need to:
COPY FROM user/password@database CREATE TmpTblName TABLESPACE temp_tablespace USING SELECT * FROM Table_name;
At this point all indexes for these will be invalid.
Drop tablespace ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE
Create ORIGINAL_TABLESPACE as 3GB
COPY FROM user/password@database CREATE TblName TABLESPACE original_tablespace USING SELECT * FROM TmpTable_name;
rebuild any indexes which are unusable.
recompile any invalid objects

Free TableSpace in Oracle 8i

I am having a 25 GB Database in Oracle 8i. The tablespace is of around 26 GB and is having 14 datafiles. I deleted almost 50% data from the database that was not relevant. Though my application has gone fast but PCT_FREE and Free Bytes in tablespace has not changed. The values are same as they were before deletion.
I have even tried to coalesce the tablespace with following command
Alter Tablespace tbtrans coalesce;
but still used bytes are same. Please suggest how could I check amount of disp space freed after purging of database.

a 25Gb database with a 26Gb tablespace? How can a tablespace be bigger than the whole database???
PCT_FREE is not supposed to changed, read your oracle documentation. PCT_FREE is a setting for Dictionary Managed Tablespace.
Free Bytes ? Where did you look this? In DBA_SEGMENTS?
50% does not mean that some extent has been freed. If you have a hudge NEXT_EXTENT or PCTINCREASE>0, then it is quite probable that no segment has been freed.
coalesce does not free any extent, but it combines free extents into larger contigous extent.
