Question

Set up or drop Default tablespace

Asked by: mingichu

Hi dear all experts:

How to set up default tablespace? In any ini or ora file?  

The default tablespace I have here seems corrupted. Can I re-create another default tablespace and drop the original one? Do I have to do anything in Storage Manager or anywhere to set it up as new default tablespace?

Thanks a lot!!

The default tablespace is set at creation time or by altering the user. If you default tablespace is corrupted you should try to restore and recover it. If you want to change the default tablespace use

ALTER user DEFAULT TABLESPACE my_tablespace;

You can create a new tablespace and drop the old one with

CREATE TABLESPACE new_tablespace
DATAFILE 'my_data_file' SIZE 25M
DEFAULT STORAGE ( initial 8k next 2k pctincrease 0);

ALTER user DEFAULT TABLESPACE new_tablespace;

DROP TABLESPACE old_tablespace;

*** remenber to delete the old datafile to free up your disk space

Good Luck
