Question

This is a practice assignment where I have to create a table space with two datafiles. We have to use the exact naming conventions that are given to us. I believe I have it right, but I get this error: "ORA-00972: identifier is too long". I think I'm getting this because the path and filename are so long. The question is, how do I get around this?

Thanks!

CREATE TABLESPACE CTTT444_tbs
DATAFILE "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\cttt444_1.dbf" SIZE 15M,
DATAFILE "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\cttt444_2.dbf" SIZE 15M,
AUTOEXTEND ON
NEXT 5m
MAXSIZE 100m);
Was it helpful?

Solution

File specification should be single quotes. Try:

CREATE TABLESPACE CTTT444_tbs
DATAFILE 'C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\cttt444_1.dbf' SIZE 15M,
DATAFILE 'C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\cttt444_2.dbf' SIZE 15M
AUTOEXTEND ON
NEXT 5m
MAXSIZE 100m;

It also looks like you have some syntax errors in the command (such as the right parenthesis).

OTHER TIPS

FYI for those with the same issue. This seemed to work for me.

CREATE TABLESPACE CTTT444_tbs
DATAFILE 'C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\cttt444_1.dbf' SIZE 15M,
 'C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\cttt444_2.dbf' SIZE 15M
AUTOEXTEND ON
NEXT 5m
MAXSIZE 100m;

OR

CREATE TABLESPACE CTTT444_tbs
DATAFILE 'C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\cttt444.dbf' SIZE 15M
AUTOEXTEND ON
NEXT 5m
MAXSIZE 100m;

ALTER TABLESPACE CMIS420_tbs ADD DATAFILE 'C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\cttt444.dbf' SIZE 15M;
