Hi, Am getting confused trying to figure out if we need to add additional
datafiles to tablespaces PODDATA and PODINDEX even though it seems that
the Used bytes for a tablespace is no where near the Max_bytes setting.
When running script that prints out tablespace size statistics it shows the following:
Size(Mg) Used(MG) Free(MG)
PODDATA 3,743 3,743 (100%) 0 (0%)
PODINDEX 2,081 2,081 (100%) 0 (0%)
When I query the table dba_data_files I get the following info which shows:
FILE NAME BYTES MaxBytes.
----------------------------------- -------------- --------------
E:\ORADATA\MOMD\DATA\MOMD_D.DBF 3,924,346,880 8,589,930,496
E:\ORADATA\MOMD\DATA\MOMD_I.DBF 2,182,211,584 8,589,930,496
I am confused why it shows no free space but the Used Byte Size is no
where near the MaxBytes Size.
The settings via Storage Manager for PODDATA and PODINDEX are as follows:
TableSpaces
PODDATA Initial-10240K Next 10240K Max Value2147483645 K
PODINDEX Initial-10240K Next 10240K Max Value 2147483645K
Datafiles:
PODDATA - MOMD_D.DBF File Size: 3832370 Auto Extend Increment 10K,
Max Extent 8388604
PODINDEX - MOMD_I.DBF File Size: 2131066K Auto Extend Increment 10K,
Max Extent: 8388604
Also performing the following give me:
As you may have determined, I am fairly new to using Oracle trying to support a application that
was developed by outside source but no longer supported by contractor.
How do I interpet the above results. Do I need to add additional datafiles?

could you post the query here that is showing the used and free space ? I think something is wrong in that query.
For total space you should look into dba_data_files and for free space look into dba_free_space and do the maths.
There are sample scripts available on this forum under "Oracle Scripts" on the left side.
Here is a sample from there --
select
a.TABLESPACE_NAME,
a.total,nvl(b.used,0) USED,
nvl((b.used/a.total)*100,0) PCT_USED
from
(select TABLESPACE_NAME,
sum(bytes)/(1024*1024) total
from sys.dba_data_files
group by TABLESPACE_NAME) a,
(select TABLESPACE_NAME,bytes/(1024*1024) used
from sys.SM$TS_USED) b
where a.TABLESPACE_NAME=b.TABLESPACE_NAME(+);
Try this and see if this also shows the same result.
