A firly complex issue. The simple answer although not complete
is that there probably isn't enough contiguous space. Take a
look at DBA_FREE_SPACE. This tells you the size of the
remaining chunks of space that are not yet allocated. If
you're trying to create an object of say 1M and that total
space available of over 1 M but the space is not contiguous the
object can't be created.
The best way to not have this happen is to create the
tablespace with a set initial, make next the same, percent
increase of 0 (default is 50). then when objects are created
allow the size to default or use a multiple of initial.
Hope this helps!
