Also, there are no tables in USERS tablespace now, as I've moved all to other tablespace.

USERS tablespace is not permanent tablespace as I've changed it to some other, still the problem.

Unable to create a tablespace under user scott despite of many privileges

Hi,
I use user scott to test a rdf database using oracle 11.2.0.2 contained in oracle developer days in my oracle linux enterprise guest system. However, I am unable to create a tablespace under scott. The error message says insufficient privilege. Actually, I granted all privilege in Roles, System Privileges, Object Privileges to scott in the OEM panel. I also granted resource, create session, create table, unlimited tablespace to scott in sqlplus as well. However, I am still unable to create the tablespace. The command I used for creating tablespace is below:
create tablespace rdf_tblspace
datafile '\home\oracle\app\oracle\oradata\rdf_tblspace.dat' size 14m reuse
autoextend on next 10m maxsize unlimited
segment space management auto;
Error at Command Line:1 Column:1
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
01031. 00000 - "insufficient privileges"
Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

Learning how 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 [url tahiti.oracle.com]tahiti.oracle.com.
Locate the link for your Oracle product and version, and click on it.
You are now at the entire documentation set for your selected Oracle product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
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 (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) 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 (listed in your alert log) 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.

Siebel database Configuration wizard unable to identify index tablespace

Hi,
I'm installing Siebel CRM 8.1.1 on AIX platform. We have RAC enabled database at backend and in that two tablespace has been created, one for data and another one for index. Now in the database configuration wizrd where we have to provide the name of both tablespaces; we provide the name of data tablespae in the Table Tablespace filed and index tablespace in the index tablespace filed of the configuration wizard. Now when we click on the next button. The configuration wizrd gives error of unable to identify index tablespace.
Why is this happening as index tablespace is properly created in the database. Please help me in this. You quick respance will be highly appriciated.
Regards,
Abbasi

I thought it might be. grantuser.sql generally needs to be modified to suit the underlying database configuration. Glad you got it working.

CJS-00091 Unable to create the tablespaces -R/3 4.7E installation

Hi All,
We are installing R/3 4.7 Enterprise x200-SR1 release. While installing Database instance, SAPinst got terminated with the below error at tablespace creation step.
CJS-00091 Unable to create the tablespaces. DIAGNOSIS: There is not enough free disk space: Mount point | space required | space available | SAPDATA directories
/oracle/DCM/sapdata1 | 44891 | 10408.3 | 4,3,1,2
. SOLUTION: Make more disk space available.
We have 10GB,12GB,30GB,30GB available in sapdata1,sapdata2,sapdata3 and sapdata4 respectively. But why the installation is trying to load all the exports into sapdata1.
If any one would have faced the similar kind of issues or know the solution please suggest me the solution.
Best Regards,
Ganesh.

Hi,
Have you distributed the sapdata files in the Installation Dialogue Box ? means Have you specified different directories for different sapdata files during Installation process ?
Please re-distribute the sapdata files location by re-running the SAP Installation. As sapdata1 location is nt having the demanded space (44891 MB).

Please suggest what should I do?

You are lucky if only your undesirable MV is affected by theese corrupted blocks. This is an advice to do a complete-super-full-hot-cold-middle backup of ypur database and search for any disk for a "possible replace".

Cannot drop undo tablespace with Active extents but no active sessions

Hi all,
I am running on 10gr2 oracle database in a Linux 32 bit environment.
I have a corrupted undo datafile. I've been able to recover the datafile but still the alert logs is still showing that it is corrupted.
Now what I'm trying to do is to drop the old undo tablespace like the one discussed here Change undo tablespace in Oracle - Switch Oracle's Undo tablespace.
My problem is I have an Active extent but no active session corresponding to it:
SYS@ccasdb AS SYSDBA > SELECT a.name,b.status
FROM   v$rollname a,v$rollstat b
WHERE a.usn = b.usn
AND    a.name IN (

6 AND    a.name IN (

8               FROM dba_segments
9               WHERE tablespace_name = 'UNDOTBS1'
10              );
no rows selected
but still cannot drop the undotablespace.
SYS@ccasdb AS SYSDBA > drop tablespace UNDOTBS1 including contents and datafiles;
drop tablespace UNDOTBS1 including contents and datafiles
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-30013: undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1' is currently in use
Regards,

Yes i was able to recover the datafile but the alert_log kept on prompting that it is still corrupted. The datafile's status is online.
I want to kill the session/s contributing to the PENDING OFFLINE status of the rollback segment so I can already drop the undotablespace and so
that the alert log will stop prompting for that corrupted datafile in that UNDOTABLESPACE.
Can i Just alter the tablespace's datafiles to offline drop then just drop it. Then I drop the tablespace?

Drop Undo Tablespace taking more than 1 hr

Hi,
To give you background, I had given an "insert into .. select" command which was inserting 3 millions of rows of rowidth approx 5000 bytes. The window on which it was given, was closed by mistake.
After sometime when I checked the size of undo_tablespace, it was 5.5GB. I decided to create a new one and drop the old undo_tbsp.
I have successfully created new undo tablespace and changed the same in spfile also.
now when i am dropping the old undo tablespace, its taking long time. its almost an hour, but the tablespace has not been dropped yet.
I have given following command
drop tablespace undotbs_01 including contents;
Any idea, why is it taking so much time, and how long should I wait?
If someone can give me any other idea on how can I drop the tablespace, that will be great.
Regards,
Archana.

To give you background, I had given an "insert into .. select" command which was inserting 3 millions of rows of rowidth approx 5000 bytes. The window on which it was given, was closed by mistake.This could be the cause.
I wonder the killed/closed session doesn't hangup with a latch or lock.
Since the old undo tbs had active transaction, it might have to pending offline status. If so, you can drop it.

Drop Normal Tablespace Taking several hours

Hi,
In my 1TB database there is one tablespace size (38.5 GB / used 4 GB) which we used for objects backup purpose and i am trying to drop this tablespace using every option like bring tablespace offline and drop with DROP TABLESPACE TBS_NAME INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES CASCADE CONSTRAINTS
but Drop Tablespace Taking several hours (24 + hrs)
I tried with drop objects from the tablespace but that is also taking lot of time to drop and then i tried to drop empty tablespace and again it is taking several hours.
Database version :- 10.2.0.3 and 10.2.0.4
Operation System Version :- Solaris 5.10
ERP 11.5.10
Please suggest what could be the problem.

So, till now you have done these steps,
1) dropped all database objects from that tablespace. Checked if any objects are there in this tablespace and there were none
2) take tbs offline
3) drop tablespace
4) While drop tablespace command is hanging, monitored segments in the tbs from another session. Segments were reducing very slowly
Out of first 3 steps, which step took longer? drop tablespace ?
Logically, when you are able to drop objects, then there should be no issue of locks or anything like that.
Dictionary updates should not take 24 hours!!!
What else is going on, on the disk/file-system where this tbs is housed?
Do you have all locally managed tablespaces?

Drop huge Tablespace

Hi Everybody,
Here there are some steps that leaded me into a dead end, where I would like and greatly appreciate some help.
1. We have a tablespace FONC, dictionary managed, 136Gb spliced in 11 datafiles
FONC1 to FONC11.
2. There it is a huge table in this tblsp, T1, 70GB, having BLOBs.
3. Some other tables are in it also.
My plan is to move all objects in this tblsp in a 2 new tblsp, one for the
BLOBS, one for the rest. And to drop this tablespace at the end.
I do not have enough disk space in order to have both tablespaces present in the
same time.
What I did.
0. ArchiveLog off.
1. Export the T1 table, the huge one (splitting the export in 24 files, placed
in all free spaces I found).
2. alter table move tablespace for the other tables.
3. start the Drop table T1.
4. after 6 hours, I stopped the drop, being short in time.
5. start drop tablespace FONC.
6. after another 5 hours, I cancelled this drop also.
7. tblsp FONC contains nothing else but a 67GB temporary segment.
8. took the tblsp FONC offline.
9. shutdown db abort.
10. delete datafiles FONC1 to FONC11.
11. startup db - no errors except a message in SMON Log - timeout waiting for a
tablespace management resource.
12. Create new tablespace.
13. Import table T1.
14. Archivelog ON - error ORA-265 - instance needs recovery.
15. Shutdown Abort.
16. Startup Open.
17. Shutdown Immediate.
18. startup mount.
19. ALter database datafile fonc1...11 offline drop.
20. Recover database - everything ok.
21. Alter ... ARCHIVELOG - same error.
22. Other trials - same results ...
No indications in any oracle log that SMON did an instance recovery, or other
error message.
Finally, the DB is operational, but ARCHIVELOG is OFF.
My problem is how to get rid of the FONC tablespace without loosing another xxxx
hours. A normal DROP tablsp including contents did not finished after 24 hours.
I need a way just to invalidate the temporary segment in the FONC tblsp, to get
rid of it, to be able to get rid of the tblsp FONC also. I guess that the
missing datafiles impede the instance recovery. An solution to be done when the
DB is online and in use is of course the most desirable one ...
using DBMS_SPACE_ADMIN can be more helpfull ?
Manually edit the controlfiles ?
Using RMAN ?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate what you are doing,

No I did not tried with Nologging.
On the other hand, what I see that takes long are the updates on the tables fet$ and uet$. More than that, a system session is issuing all the time blocking locks on this tables, that makes the drop to take so much time. Releasing 67GB in extents is quite challenging ...
So I need a way to lead only to delete on the fet$ and uet$ tables, and, a way to avoid the blocking locks. I thought that using DBMS_SPACE_ADMIN and invalidating the temporary segment first can be a solution.
The real problem here is that I can not do try-and-see, I can not stop the exploitation of the DB so I was hoping that somebody went through the same experience and has a working solution.
Thanks,

Drop a tablespace and datafile when database is mounted

I tried to import data in my oracle 11g. It failed midway. I presumed that i did not size the redolog properly. Now my database cannot go beyound the mounted mode.
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 7 – see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 7: ‘ /data1/owprojects/xxxxx.dbf ‘
Its a new oracle installation and i do not need the corrupt datafile.
I cant take the tablespace offline neither can i drop the tablespace including its contents.
Do i drop from the Linux OS. If yes which other file to i edit to remove the pointer to this tablespace.
Thanks and Best Regards
J
