What is taking up all of the table space's data?

Asked by bjornsone in Oracle Database

Tags: ,

I have a small oracle 8.1.6 database (a full export was less than 60megs), but when I
used Oracle DBA Studio to see how the storage was doing, I was amazed
at how large some of the data files had become.  They had automatically
extended.  My concerns are about the following data files that seem abnormally
large for the small database I am running:
RBS 3600 Megs (inital size of 16 Megs)
SYSTEM 4400 Megs (initial size was 16 Megs)
DRSYS 240 Megs (initial size was 4 Megs)
MyData 341 Megs

How can I determine the cause of this large size and if it is a problem, how
can I resolve it?  For the table space "MyData", how do I know which tables
are consuming the space?

I know that the total size can easily fit on my disks, but I'm concerned that
there might be a problem in how I am managing the database since I can't
account for these larger than expected sizes.  I can't wait til it gets big and
have problems then, so I need to understand this now.
