ORA-01659: unable to allocate MINEXTENTS beyond 2 in tablespace
I am using Oracle 8i on SunOS 5. It is a datawarehousing system
I got the following error while running an application
alter table abc split partition PHMMAXVAL at (to_date('2008JAN', 'YYYYMON')) into
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01659: unable to allocate MINEXTENTS beyond 2 in tablespace abc_DATA_128M
2008-02-07 02:19:02 Aborted at sp_myproc
What is the reason for this error and what is the remedy.
Please note that I cannot do any dba stuff like add datafiles or extend tablespace etc. Thanks.

What can you make out of this?
so, what about the free space in the tablespace LTC_DATA_128M?

thanks for the site.
Could you please let me know the solution to the problem.
Is adding datafile to the tablespace the only solution we have?
I think in the warehousing system, they are creating a new partition without deleting
the old partition. So this error has come.
The solution I feel is that they should first remove the oldest partition in the
table and then add a new partition. Am I right?
