You don't have to create a new user, synonym etc, to acomplish this. You can do it this way:

1. Export a table
2. Create new_tablespace
3. Make this tablespace the default tablespace for the owner of a

table, give him sufficient (or unlimited) quota on this new_tablespace and set his qouta on old_tablespace to 0. You can do all of this using ALTER USER command.
4. Import the table back, it will be created in the new_tablespace. 5. Eventualy alter the user again, seting his default tablespace and quotas back to their previous values.
