Puzzle with tablespaces in the HR sample schema.

Hi all,

I am currently working through the book "Beginning Oracle Programming" by Dillon, Beck, Kyte & al.

If you run this query

SQL> connect oracle_admin/oracle_admin
SQL> SELECT owner, table_name, tablespace_name 2 FROM dba_tables
3 WHERE owner in ('SCOTT', 'HR')
4 ORDER BY owner, tablespace_name, table_name 5 /

(oracle_admin has dba privileges)

All the tables is either in tablespace Example or System *_except_* for the COUNTRIES table in the HR schema.

Don't all tables have to have a tablespace? Where is this country data stored? I'm a bit puzzled and would appreciate any pointers.

TIA. Paul...
