Hi

What has grown?

you don't mention datafiles. So if there is only the three types of files you mention there I can only assume that the part that has grown is the number of archive logs. These are needed for recovery since last backup and can not be thrown away. can be zipped though.

If I'm not mistaken if you use the insert /*+ APPEND */ hint it uses direct load and does not create so much redo (archives) and is faster as well

Hi!

Our Oracle database is installed on second partition of the drive capacity 7GB. Last night one the developers executed a query to create and populate a
table from another table. The query wasn't successful i.e., the table couldn't get created.

However the database size has grown enormous almost occupying the whole disc
space.

There are control files, redo log files, archive log files.

What to do?

TIA! Aleem
