Hi, i'm not an Oracle expert but my application is running on Oracle 9i.
Can anyone tell me what is SYSTEM tablespace and is this will cause my application slow if this tablespace almost full?
Thanks

The SYSTEM tablespace is intended for the data dictionary - not for users to put their stuff in.
If SYSTEM gets fragmented, the entire database will be slow. In such cases you need to recreate the entire database as you cannot reorg SYSTEM.
Even worst, if Oracle tries to write to the dictionary and SYSTEM is full, you can expect to see some ORA-600 errors and maybe even database crashes.
