[Quoted] [Quoted] You have to export the data one tablespace at a time, recreate the tablespace, then import the data back into the tablespace to get rid of extra free space. Check your documentation for import and export syntax. When creating your new tablespaces, you can specify maxsizes on your datafiles while autoextending is on, you must periodically check to make sure that the data files aren't filled up.

You have to modify your init.ora file to change your memory configuration. This file is usually found in ORACLE_HOME\DATABASE or ORACLE_HOME\ADMIN\SID_NAME\PFILE directories. You can decrease the number of [Quoted] [Quoted] database_buffers, shared_pool_size and sort_memory_size parameters, but this [Quoted] might affect performance.
