Hi

I have created 5 tablespaces with 5 datafiles in each. I have created a table with 5 partitions

in which data will be stored in appropriate tablespace.

Tablespace1 contains datafiles (000.dbf,001.dbf,002.dbf,003.dbf,004.dbf) for day1 partition
Tablespace2 contains datafiles (000.dbf,001.dbf,002.dbf,003.dbf,004.dbf) for day2 partition
Tablespace3 contains datafiles (000.dbf,001.dbf,002.dbf,003.dbf,004.dbf) for day3 partition
Tablespace4 contains datafiles (000.dbf,001.dbf,002.dbf,003.dbf,004.dbf) for day4 partition
Tablespace5 contains datafiles (000.dbf,001.dbf,002.dbf,003.dbf,004.dbf) for day5 partition

Only one table shares all these tablespaces.

I inserted data upto day2 partitions only. I have not inserted data for other 3 partitions. But

i find some extents have been allocated for a particular datafile (ie 002.dbf) which i have never

inserted data for it (ie for tblspace 3,4,5).

Particularly datafile 002.dbf has been allocated extents for all other tablespaces 3,4,5. But

000.dbf,001.dbf,003.dbf,004.dbf has not been allocated any extents. I have selected count(*) from

those partitions but it retured 0. I am sure that there is only one table is sharing these

tablespaces. I want to know who is using this particular datafile and how to resolve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

I'd need to see your create table, create tablespace, and insert statements to know for sure, but it soounds like you need to read the Oracle concepts guide to get a better understanding of what tablespaces, datafiles, and partitions are. It should clear your confusion right up.

For instance, why do you have 5 datafiles for each tablespace?
