To view the tablespace location in Oracle, you can use the following method:

  1. Connect to the Oracle database using SQL*Plus.
  2. Use the following query statement to find the location of the tablespace:
  3. Retrieve the names of the tablespace and file from the database data files.
  4. This will return all tablespaces along with their corresponding data file paths.
  5. Use the following SQL query to find the location of a tablespace and its corresponding data file size:
  6. Retrieve the tablespace name, file name, and size in megabytes from the dba_data_files table.
  7. This will return the tablespace name, data file path, and file size in megabytes.
  8. Find the location of the tablespace and its corresponding data file with the automatic extend option using the following query statement.
  9. Retrieve the tablespace name, file name, and autoextensible flag from the dba_data_files table.
  10. This will return the tablespace name, data file path, and whether the automatic extension option is enabled.

Please note that the above query statement requires a user with DBA privileges to execute. If you do not have the necessary permissions, you can try using the ALL_DATA_FILES view or the USER_DATA_FILES view to query tablespace information.
