The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

ORA-01654: unable to extend index - on Oracle9i

Asked by shannon_adams in Oracle 9.x

Running Oracle9i

Today, we started receiving the following errors in a production Oracle database:

ESQL ERR vSqlError(). RC=-1654 - ORA-01654: unable to extend index ISOFT.NOTICE_TONAME_INDEX by 128 in tablespace ISOFT_TABLES      

ESQL ERR vSqlError(). RC=-1654 - ORA-01654: unable to extend index ISOFT.NOTICE_FROMNAME_INDEX by 128 in tablespace ISOFT_TABLES  

Based on an Oracle kb article, I obtained the following:

TABLESPACE NAME                CONTIGUOUS BYTES
------------------------------ ----------------
ISOFT_TABLES                      2,097,086,464

TABLESPACE_NAME                # OF EXTENTS     TOTAL BYTES
------------------------------ ------------ ---------------
CWMLITE                                   2      11,141,120
DRSYS                                     1      10,813,440
EXAMPLE                                   1         131,072
INDX                                      1      26,148,864
ISOFT_INDEXES                             1      10,420,224
ISOFT_TABLES                              1   2,097,086,464
ODM                                       1      11,206,656
SYSTEM                                   13      88,670,208
TOOLS                                     1      10,420,224
UNDOTBS1                                 14     187,367,424
USERS                                     1      26,148,864
XDB                                       1         196,608



SQL> select file_name, bytes, autoextensible, maxbytes from dba_data_files where tablespace_name='ISOFT_TABLES';

FILE_NAME             BYTES             AUT         MAXBYTES
isoft_tables01.dbf      2097152000       YES       2097152000

I am not an Oracle DBA and I am not sure how to overcome these errors.  Based on what I have read, here are two options:

1.  Run the tollowing command ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'isoft_tables01.dbf' AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;

2.  Get rid of fragmentation is drop and recreate the object. I am not sure how to export and import the table.  If this is the best approach, I would appreciate someone leading me through it.

Can someone lead me in the right direction?

Thanks for any help,
