All:

I did make a search on this error before posting, however I fear it may have been brief and/or a bit rushed.

If I have overlooked an existing thread on my question, I will gladly accept the redirection there if necessary.

That said.

Stored procedure attempts to execute an insert and produces the following:

ORA-01653: unable to extend table [%%%%] by 8192 in tablespace [%%%%] 



Have reviewed information on the error and understand that the db is unable to extend CONTIGUOUS space sufficient to accommodate the volume of data for the insert [8192].

Began reviewing the tablespace settings so to evaluate the following options:
1. An update the [NEXT_EXTENT] and/or [PCT/INCREASE] fields
2. An additional data file to accommodate the new data
3. A "de-fragment" on the tablespace

However in reviewing I discovered that both the fields [NEXT_EXTENT] and [PCT/INCREASE] are null.
Shocked
This seems very odd. Would that not prevent ANY inserts from succeeding EVER??

This is new territory for my experience, so trying to be diligent and through in understanding my next action and the reason for it before proceeding.

Does anyone have experience with these fields set to NULL and should I fear simply updating the existing NULL values with something to fix the error?

As always, thank-you in advance for all input!

Happy St.Pat's Day!!

Trust me oracle documentation is good as well as google is.

Above link should help you to clarify your doubts about extents.

These parameters are meaningless in LMT (Locally Managed Tablespace).
In addition, when they are meaningful, these parameters give DEFAULT values when objects are created and not ACTUAL values on these objects.

I made some effort to leave a post that outlined the prob as well as my effort to date to research and understand the issue.

Was there something in the post that is glaringly wrong?

Thanks!

The way I understood your statement is whether anyone having any experience in updating the data dictionary views. These views are maintained internally by oracle and not to be updated by using DML statements , instead you should be using appropriate procedures defined to change the value. Hence i made a comment saying

If my understanding is not correct just ignore the comment I made.
