Adding additional file to a tablespace [message #61568]

Hi All,

how do I add a new datafile to a partition that is nearly filled so that the tablespace can continue to grow in the new datafile. Also I want to stop the autoextend on the old tablespace. This is for Oracle 8.1.7. on Solaris 8.

Thanks

Jeff A.

Oracle itself decide where to put new dates. So if you want that old datafile remain without new dates - resize them until the minimum size possible. This step also not very effective because of pctfree/pctused options - Oracle will fill blocks, where percent of dates is smaller than percent of filling a block.

I don't understand your reply. I'm not sure you understand what I am asking here. I have a physical partition that is filling up and need to add another data file to the tablespace.

Here's an example:

ALTER TABLESPACE tbs
ADD DATAFILE 'c:temptbs_DATA02.DBF'
SIZE 50K
AUTOEXTEND ON
NEXT 10K
MAXSIZE 100K;

ALTER TABLESPACE tbs DATAFILE '......' AUTOEXTEND OFF;

Hope that helps,

For adding a datafile to tablespace exist very simply and standart script:
ALTER TABLESPACE AUDIT_DATA ADD DATAFILE 'file_name' size 20M
See a full description of command alter in Oracle documentation. This is not a problem for putting them in forum.
