Structure Concept:

                     DATABASE
     TABLESPACE A               TABLESPACE B
      Datafile1 Disk1            Datafile2 Disk1
      Datafile3 Disk2
       Segment A                   Segment B
       Extent1 Extent2 ...         Extent1 Extent2 ...
       block1block2block3...       block1block2block3...

Tablespace is a logical structure - to store all financial data Datafile is a pysical structure - to store all financial data Segment is a logical structure - Account table Extent is a physical structure - space to aquire for each segment Block is a physical structure - lowest level of I/O within datafile

Hope this helps
