Lab 4 - Tablespace & Datafile

A tablespace is a logical group of data files that store the physical data of database objects. A database contains at least one tablespace for storing data within datafiles. Tablespaces allow administrators to control disk space allocation, assign quotas, and perform backup/recovery operations. There are two types of tablespaces: default and temporary. Common tasks involve creating, altering, and dropping tablespaces and their associated datafiles.

Tablespace & Datafile
Tablespace : is a logical group of data files in a database. A database
typically contains at least one tablespace, and usually two or more.
Within the database, the tablespace plays a role similar to that of a
folder on the hard drive of a computer.
Datafile : is a physical file of

the operating system that

store the data of all logical

structures in the database .

INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT 3


Tablespace
A database administrator can use tablespaces to :
 Control disk space allocation for database data
 Assign specific space quotas for database users
 Control availability of data by taking individual tablespace online or offline
(except the SYSTEM tablespace)
 Perform partial database backup or recovery operations

There are two types of tablespaces :


 Default tablespace
 Temporary tablespace

Note
If you have the proper privileges and tablespace quota, you can
create a new table in any tablespace that is currently online.
Therefore, you should specify the TABLESPACE option in a
CREATE TABLE statement to identify the tablespace that will store
the new table.
If you do not specify a tablespace in a CREATE TABLE statement,
the table is created in your default tablespace
