Oracle Database Administration – Lab #3
Tablespace and Datafile Management (10 points)
 
Situation:  You have identified the need to alter the structure of the database with
regard to tablespaces and datafiles.  In this laboratory you will practice managing
tablespaces and datafiles.
 
Use Notepad, Wordpad, or Microsoft Word to document your solution to the tasks
in the laboratory. 
 Label your answer to each clearly by typing the number/letter (example 2a) in bold print.
 Show each command you execute and the computer's response (example
response:  Database Altered, Tablespace Created, etc.).  If you don't show the commands
you execute, then your answer will be counted as wrong.
 Print your output using 10 point Courier or Courier New font (so the output lines up and is
easy to read).
         Format your output as necessary to make it easy to read.  Do not submit for
grading anything you would not submit to your boss for review in an actual work
environment, i.e. in other words, do not turn in sloppy work that is difficult for me
to grade.   
Note: -1 if you do not use the correct font and format your output
professionally.

 
Tablespace and Datafile:  The modifications that you make to your database for this
lab should be OFA-compliant.  You must decide which disk drive (/u01 through /u03) to
use for these tablespaces.
 
System Object  File Name Size
DATA01 Tablespace USERXXXdata01.dbf 1M
INDEX01 Tablespace USERXXXindex01.dbf 2M
READONLY01 Tablespace USERXXXreadonly01.dbf 500K
COMP_DATA Tablespace USERXXXcomp_data01.dbf 1M
 
 
Tasks for this Lab
 
1.  Startup your instance.   Connect as the DBA user for your database.

2.  Create permanent tablespaces as follows (2 points – see the above table of
information on tablespace and datafile names and sizes). 
a.    DATA01 as a locally managed tablespace with uniform sized extents of 48K. 
b.    INDEX01 as a locally managed tablespace that allows extents to be different
sizes such that extent size is automatically allocated by the DBMS.
 c.    Query the DBA_TABLESPACES and V$DATAFILE view to display information
about the tablespaces you just created as shown here:
COLUMN tablespace_name FORMAT A10;
SELECT tablespace_name, extent_management, initial_extent,
    next_extent, pct_increase
FROM dba_tablespaces;
 
COLUMN name FORMAT A55;
SELECT name, ts# FROM v$datafile;
 
3.  Alter the DBA user (1 point).
a.    Alter the DBA user accounts for your database such that each DBA is assigned a
default tablespace of DATA01.
b.    Verify the result by querying DBA_USERS as shown here:
SELECT username, default_tablespace FROM dba_users;
 
4.  Alter tablespaces (1 point).
a.    Allocate 104K additional space to tablespace DATA01.  
b.    Verify the result by querying DBA_DATA_FILES as shown here:
SELECT tablespace_name, bytes/1024 FROM dba_data_files;
 
5.     Relocate a tablespace (1 point).  
a.    Create a new directory inside your oradata directory for the disk drive where you
decided to create the DATA01 tablespace datafile.  Name the new
directory application_data.  Set appropriate permissions (775) for
the application_data directory.
b.    Take the action necessary to relocate DATA01 to the new directory. 
c.    Verify the result by querying DBA_DATA_FILES as shown here:
COLUMN file_name FORMAT A50;
COLUMN tablespace_name FORMAT A15;
SELECT tablespace_name, file_name, status FROM
dba_data_files;
 
6.  Read-Only Tablespace (2 points).
a.    Create a tablespace named READONLY01 on disk drive /u01 (but do not make
the tablespace read-only at this time).  The READONLY01 tablespace should
inherit the Oracle default storage options.  Verify the result by querying
DBA_TABLESPACES as shown here:
SELECT tablespace_name FROM dba_tablespaces;
 
b.    Create a table named TEST1 and insert one data row into the table.
 CREATE TABLE test1 (
      test1_column_1  CHAR(20) )
 TABLESPACE readonly01;
 
 INSERT INTO test1 VALUES (‘Row 1’);
  COMMIT;
 
c.  Make the READONLY01 tablespace read-only.  Verify the result by querying
V$DATAFILE:
SELECT name, enabled FROM v$datafile WHERE enabled = ‘READ
ONLY’;
 
d.    Attempt to create a new test table named TEST2.  What happens?  Drop the first
table, TEST1.  What happens?
e.    Drop the READONLY01 tablespace and the associated datafile.  Verify that the
tablespace has been dropped by querying DBA_TABLESPACES and
DBA_DATA_FILES:
SELECT tablespace_name FROM dba_tablespaces;
SELECT file_name FROM dba_data_files;
 
7.  OMF Tablespace Creation (1 point).
a.    Set the DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST parameter to $HOME/oradata in memory
only. 
b.    Create a tablespace named DATA02 with size 100K.   Do not specify a file
location. 
c.    Verify the result by querying DBA_DATA_FILES:
SELECT tablespace_name, file_name, status FROM
dba_data_files;
 
d.    Drop the tablespace that you just created including the contents and datafile.
 
8.  Compressed Tablespace Creation (1 point).
a.    Create a compressed tablespace of size 1M named COMP_DATA that
compresses data for OLTP.  Store the tablespace on disk drive /u02.
b.    Verify the result by querying DBA_TABLESPACES as shown here:
SELECT tablespace_name FROM dba_tablespaces;
 
9.  Shut down the database (-1 point if you forget to shutdown). 
 
 
Do not leave your database running between laboratory
sessions.
