Hi,

Autoextend is on for system tablespace (why?). What's the default tablespace for the account the developer used to create the object (system?), if not system his objects should not go to system tablespace so than maybe his temporary tablespace is system and he used this tablespace to perform a massive sort operation in order to fill that newly created table.

Temp is 1GB, mine is 13Gb (on one of our databases) and I don't worry about it. Question is did it grow also or was it 1Gb to begin with?

Jack

What has grown?

you don't mention datafiles. So if there is only the three types of files you mention there I can only assume that the part that has grown is the number of archive logs. These are needed for recovery since last backup and can not be thrown away. can be zipped though.

If I'm not mistaken if you use the insert /*+ APPEND */ hint it uses direct load and does not create so much redo (archives) and is faster as well

Hi!

Our Oracle database is installed on second partition of the drive capacity 7GB. Last night one the developers executed a query to create and populate a
table from another table. The query wasn't successful i.e., the table couldn't get created.

However the database size has grown enormous almost occupying the whole disc
space.

There are control files, redo log files, archive log files.

What to do?

TIA! Aleem
