Oracle Tablespaces Guide: Types & Management

A tablespace is a logical structure in Oracle databases used to store data, tables, indexes, and other database objects. Each tablespace can contain one or more data files, which are physical files stored in the operating system’s file system. Tablespaces can be divided into different types such as system, user, and temporary tablespaces, each used for storing different types of data and objects. In Oracle databases, tablespaces are important tools for database administrators to manage and optimize performance.
