Use the ALTER TABLESPACE statement to alter an existing tablespace or one or more of its datafiles or tempfiles.

If you have ALTER TABLESPACE system privilege, you can perform any of this statement's operations. If you have MANAGE TABLESPACE system privilege, you can only perform the following operations:
Before you can make a tablespace read only, the following conditions must be met:
SYSTEM tablespace can never be made read only, because it contains the SYSTEM
rollback segment. Additionally, because the rollback segments of a
read-only tablespace are not accessible, Oracle recommends that you
drop the rollback segments before you make a tablespace read only.
Performing this function in restricted mode may help you meet these restrictions, because only users with RESTRICTED SESSION system privilege can be logged on.

datafile / tempfile_clauses The datafile and tempfile clauses let you add or modify a datafile or tempfile.
|
|
Specify You can add a datafile or tempfile to a locally managed tablespace that is online or to a dictionary managed tablespace that is online or offline. Be sure the file is not in use by another database.

This clause merely associates the tablespace with the new file rather than the old one. This clause does not actually change the name of the operating system file. You must change the name of the file through your operating system. |

The autoextend_clause lets you enable or disable the automatic extending of the size of the datafile in the tablespace.

DEFAULT storage_clause
DEFAULT storage_clause lets you
specify the new default storage parameters for objects subsequently
created in the tablespace. For a dictionary-managed temporary table,
Oracle considers only the NEXT parameter of the storage_clause.
Restriction: You cannot specify this clause for a locally managed tablespace.

MINIMUM EXTENT
The MINIMUM EXTENT clause
lets you control free space fragmentation in the tablespace by ensuring
that every used or free extent size in a tablespace is at least as
large as, and is a multiple of, integer. This clause is not relevant for a dictionary-managed temporary tablespace.
Restriction: You cannot specify this clause for a locally managed tablespace.

ONLINE | OFFLINE
Specify ONLINE to bring the tablespace online.
Specify OFFLINE to take the tablespace offline and prevents further access to its segments.
|
Suggestion: Before taking a tablespace offline for a long time, you may want to alter the tablespace allocation of any users who have been assigned the tablespace as either a default or temporary tablespace. When the tablespace is offline, these users cannot allocate space for objects or sort areas in the tablespace. |

BEGIN BACKUP
Specify BEGIN BACKUP to
indicate that an open backup is to be performed on the datafiles that
make up this tablespace. This clause does not prevent users from
accessing the tablespace. You must use this clause before beginning an
open backup.
Restrictions: You cannot specify this clause for a read-only tablespace or for a temporary locally managed tablespace.
|
Note: While the backup is in progress, you cannot take the tablespace offline normally, shut down the instance, or begin another backup of the tablespace. |
|
|
END BACKUP
Specify END BACKUP to
indicate that an open backup of the tablespace is complete. Use this
clause as soon as possible after completing an open backup. You cannot
use this clause on a read-only tablespace.
If you forget to indicate the end of an online tablespace backup, and an instance failure or SHUTDOWN ABORT occurs, Oracle assumes that media recovery (possibly requiring archived redo log) is necessary at the next instance start up.

|
|
READ ONLY | READ WRITE
Specify READ ONLY to place the tablespace in transition read-only mode.
In this state, existing transactions can complete (commit or roll
back), but no further write operations (DML) are allowed to the
tablespace except for rollback of existing transactions that previously
modified blocks in the tablespace.
Once a tablespace is read only, you can copy its files to
read-only media. You must then rename the datafiles in the control file
to point to the new location by using the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE ... RENAME.
|

|
|
|
Specify READ WRITE to indicate that write operations are allowed on a previously read-only tablespace.
PERMANENT | TEMPORARY
Specify PERMANENT to indicate that the
tablespace is to be converted from a temporary to a permanent one. A
permanent tablespace is one in which permanent database objects can be
stored. This is the default when a tablespace is created.
Specify TEMPORARY to indicate specifies
that the tablespace is to be converted from a permanent to a temporary
one. A temporary tablespace is one in which no permanent database
objects can be stored. Objects in a temporary tablespace persist only
for the duration of the session.
COALESCE For each datafile in the tablespace, this clause coalesces all contiguous free extents into larger contiguous extents.
LOGGING | NOLOGGING
Specify LOGGING if you want logging of all
tables, indexes, and partitions within the tablespace. The
tablespace-level logging attribute can be overridden by logging
specifications at the table, index, and partition levels.
When an existing tablespace logging attribute is changed by an ALTER TABLESPACE statement, all tables, indexes, and partitions created after the
statement will have the new default logging attribute (which you can
still subsequently override). The logging attributes of existing
objects are not changed.
Only the following operations support NOLOGGING mode:
INSERT (serial or parallel); Direct Loader (SQL*Loader)
CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT, CREATE INDEX, ALTER INDEX ... REBUILD, ALTER INDEX ... REBUILD PARTITION, ALTER INDEX ... SPLIT PARTITION, ALTER TABLE ... SPLIT PARTITION, ALTER TABLE ... MOVE PARTITION.
In NOLOGGING mode, data is modified with
minimal logging (to mark new extents invalid and to record dictionary
changes). When applied during media recovery, the extent invalidation
records mark a range of blocks as logically corrupt, because the redo
data is not logged. Therefore, if you cannot afford to lose the object,
it is important to take a backup after the NOLOGGING operation.
The following statement signals to the database that a backup is about to begin:
ALTER TABLESPACE accounting
BEGIN BACKUP;
The following statement signals to the database that the backup is finished:
ALTER TABLESPACE accounting
END BACKUP;
This example moves and renames a datafile associated with the accounting tablespace from 'diska:pay1:dat' to 'diskb:receive1:dat':
ALTER TABLESPACE statement with the OFFLINE clause:
ALTER TABLESPACE accounting OFFLINE NORMAL;
diska:pay1.dat' to 'diskb:receive1.dat' using your operating system's commands.
ALTER TABLESPACE statement with the RENAME DATAFILE clause:
ALTER TABLESPACE accounting
RENAME DATAFILE 'diska:pay1.dbf'
TO 'diskb:receive1.dbf';
ALTER TABLESPACE statement with the ONLINE clause:
ALTER TABLESPACE accounting ONLINE;
The following statement adds a datafile to the tablespace and changes the default logging attribute to NOLOGGING. When more space is needed, new extents of size 10 kilobytes will be added up to a maximum of 100 kilobytes:
ALTER TABLESPACE accounting NOLOGGING
ADD DATAFILE 'disk3:pay3.dbf'
SIZE 50K
AUTOEXTEND ON
NEXT 10K
MAXSIZE 100K;
Altering a tablespace logging attribute has no affect on the logging attributes of the existing schema objects within the tablespace. The tablespace-level logging attribute can be overridden by logging specifications at the table, index, and partition levels.
The following statement changes the allocation of every extent of tabspace_st to a multiple of 128K:
ALTER TABLESPACE tabspace_st MINIMUM EXTENT 128K;
