FAQ
When I checked yesterday's alert logs, I found the following error:

ORA-01652 unable to extend temp segment by (num) in tablespace SYSTEM. =20

I've forgotten what the actual number was. The recommended action is to =
add a datafile. However, when I checked the existing datafile, it is less =
than 50% full, with 20 MB remaining, and 11 MB in the next available =
extent.

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? For now, I plan to see if =
the error occurs again, and then add another datafile if necessary. The =
error occurred during business hours (ie. when the database was in use) =
and we also have developers working on an update, although they are =
supposed to be working on the development database.

Thanks.

    I would guess that a user is defined to the instance with its default and or
    temporary tablespace a "system".

    Yes, that was exactly it. Thank you.

    Obviously, this error tells you that Oracle cannot extend segment. Oracle
    can fail to extend a segment only because of the lack of the necessary space
    in the tablespace. A common wisdom (and OFA, which is anything but the
    common wisdom)
    tells you to separate different object types into the different tablespaces.
    Tablespace system should be used for DICTIONARY TRANSACTIONS ONLY. If you
    see somebody to use the tablespace SYSTEM as the temporary tablespace (see
    CREATE LUSER command options) please fell free to shoot the DBA. It would
    also
    be advisable to put the rollback segments into their separate tablespace and
    (I know I'm asking too much now!) to separate tables and indexes not only to
    the
    separate disks but to the separate controllers as well. When it comes to the
    system safety, words like RAID-5, EMC, Legato Networker and DLT7000 robot
    and RMAN
    come into my mind. Running a well designed database with 95% uptime is an
    expensive proposition.
    If you were an internet company, like let's say E-Bay, then you couldn't
    afford
    not to install patches, not to have a hot standby system and not have even a
    proper backup and keep your systems down for a week, could you?

    When I checked yesterday's alert logs, I found the following error:

    ORA-01652 unable to extend temp segment by (num) in tablespace SYSTEM.

    I've forgotten what the actual number was. The recommended action is to
    add
    a datafile. However, when I checked the existing datafile, it is less than
    50% full, with 20 MB remaining, and 11 MB in the next available extent.

    Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? For now, I plan to see if
    the error occurs again, and then add another datafile if necessary. The
    error occurred during business hours (ie. when the database was in use) and
