Oracle creates a new system table filext$ to hols information about autoextend(s) the
first time you issue a statement with AUTOEXTEND option. Looks like your SYSTEM
tablespace is absolutely out of space (not even 10K free space to create the INITIAL
extent for filext$) and that is why your ADD DATAFILE statement is failing. You might try
ALTER DATABASE to resize your original datafile. Look at the online help for syntax.
This feature is available only from 7.3 (I think).
