Hi Saroj

The problem is that you do not have a chunk of free space the size of the initial extent
for the segment you are creating in the particular tablespace. You may have enough free space within the tablespace but you do not have a chunk the size of the initial extent.

Oracle allocates contiguous space to extents.

Here is a query that would help you.

select max(bytes/1024/1024) from dba_free_space where tablespace_name='TABLESPACE NAME';

This will give you the maximum size chunk (in MEGS) available to allocate to any extent within the SPECIFIED tablespace. Compare this value to the initial extent for the segment you are trying to create.

When you are create the segment make sure the initial extent is smaller than this value else you will get the error.

You can overcome the error ora 1658 by using a smaller initial extent or by adding another datafile to your tablespace.

Tell me the step.
THe problem is like this.

// *Cause:  Failed to find sufficient contiguous space to allocate INITIAL
//          extent for segment being created.
// *Action: Use ALTER TABLESPACE ADD DATAFILE to add additional space to the
//          tablespace or retry with a smaller value for INITIAL
