Create tablespace in Oracle

The create tablespace statement is used to create a tablespace.

Permanent tablespace
create tablespace ts_something

logging

datafile '/dbf1/ts_sth.dbf'

size 32m

autoextend on

next 32m maxsize 2048m

extent management local;

create tablespace data datafile '/home/oracle/databases/ora10/data.dbf'

size 10M

autoextend on maxsize 200M

extent management local uniform size 64K;

Temporary tablespace
create temporary tablespace temp_mtr

tempfile '/dbf1/mtr_temp01.dbf'

size 32m

autoextend on

next 32m maxsize 2048m

extent management local;

Note, a temporary tablespace has tempfiles, not datafiles.

Undo tablespace
create undo tablespace ts_undo

datafile '/dbf/undo.dbf'

size 100M;

Misc
More than one datafile can be created with a single create tablespace command:
 create tablespace ts_sth

datafile 'c:\xx\sth_01.dbf' size 4M autoextend off,

'c:\xx\sth_02.dbf' size 4M autoextend off,

'c:\xx\sth_03.dbf' size 4M autoextend off

logging

extent management local;

Adding a tablespace to a database is a structural change thatrequires a backup.
