ORA-01653: unable to extend table by in tablespace ORA-06512
oracle, tablespace
Solution
Just add a new datafile for the existing tablespace
ALTER TABLESPACE LEGAL_DATA ADD DATAFILE '/u01/oradata/userdata03.dbf' SIZE 200M;
To find out the location and size of your data files:
SELECT FILE_NAME, BYTES FROM DBA_DATA_FILES WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME = 'LEGAL_DATA';
Problem
I tried to generate some test data by running the following sql. ``` BEGIN FOR i IN 1..8180 LOOP insert into SPEEDTEST select 'column1', 'column2', 'column3', 'column4', 'column5', 'column6', 'column7', 'column8', 'column9', 'column10', 'column11', 'column12', 'column13', 'column14', 'column15', 'column16', 'column17', 'column18', 'column19', 'column20', 'column21', 'column22', 'column23', 'column24', 'column25', 'column26', 'column27', 'column28', 'column29', 'column30', 'column31', 'column32', 'column33', 'column34', 'column35', 'column36', 'column37', 'column38', 'column39', 'column40', 'column41', 'column42', 'column43', 'column44', 'column45', 'column46', 'column47', 'column48', 'column49', 'column50', 'column51', 'column52', 'column53', 'column54', 'column55', 'column56', 'column57', 'column58', 'column59', 'column60', 'column61', 'column62', 'column63', 'column64', 'column65', 'column66', 'column67', 'column68', 'column69', 'column70', 'column71', 'column72', 'column73', 'column74', 'column75', 'column76', 'column77', 'column78', 'column79', 'column80', 'column81', 'column82', 'column83', 'column84', 'column85', 'column86', 'column87', 'column88', 'column89', 'column90', 'column91', 'column92', 'column93', 'column94', 'column95', 'column96', 'column97', 'column98', 'column99', 'column100', i from dual; END LOOP; END; / commit; ``` and it gave me following error: ``` ORA-01653: unable to extend table LEGAL.SPEEDTEST by 128 in tablespace LEGAL_DATA ORA-06512: at line 4 ``` Which indicates that I ran out of space, how do I add more and how to know how much do I need? What 128 stands for?
