How to handle insufficient space in Oracle database tab…

In the event of insufficient Oracle database tablespace, the following steps can be taken:

  1. Increase data files: Table space can be expanded by adding data files. This can be done by using the ALTER TABLESPACE statement to add data files, or by using a script to add data files.
  2. Removing unnecessary data: You can free up table space by getting rid of data that is no longer in use. This can involve deleting tables, indexes, views, or other objects that are no longer needed, as well as cleaning up unnecessary data such as log tables or historical tables.
  3. Compressing table space: You can use compression techniques to reduce the size of table spaces. Utilize Oracle’s compression tools such as the COMPRESS and DECOMPRESS functions to compress the data within the table space.
  4. Reallocate space: You can free up table space by reallocating space. You can use the ALTER TABLE … MOVE statement to move a table or partition to another table space, or use the ALTER INDEX … REBUILD statement to rebuild indexes and free up table space.
  5. Optimize queries and transactions: You can reduce the consumption of tablespace by optimizing queries and transactions. Queries can be optimized by using appropriate indexes and partitioning techniques to reduce access to tablespace. Similarly, optimizing transaction commits and rollbacks can decrease locking and occupying of tablespace.
  6. Compression of tables and indexes: Oracle’s compression technology can be used to compress tables and indexes, reducing the space they occupy.
  7. Database migration: If none of the above methods are able to solve the issue of insufficient table space, the database can be moved to a larger storage space.

In conclusion, depending on the specific situation, one or more of the above methods can be implemented to solve the issue of insufficient space in the Oracle database tables.
