Hi,

last time a tablespace (with no aotoextend on) on a 8i-db became full. We resized the datafile. But now I wonder, what is the best way to extend a tablespace on a running db?

- Resize the datafile?

- add a datafile to the tablespace?

- in case of no autoextend on- simply activate the autoextend?

Are all three posssibilties possible in a running system? And which one is the best?

Hi,

I don't think it matters much either way. Personally I would try to extend the files (AUTO or manually) so you end-up with fewer files to manage. However, if the disk is too busy, rather add another file on a separate disk.

Best regards.
