8.1.7.4 - Linux - Tablespace Issue

[chewymix]

Hi

I have a tablespace that apparently does not have sufficient space to extend any further - No issue as i added a datafile to it.

Still getting the same error so i checked the freespace in the tablespace and this is the report for that tablespace

Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - Production
JServer Release 8.1.7.4.0 - Production


Tablespace free space
TSNAME TOTAL(M) FREE(M) FREE % LARG(M) FRAGMTS MGMT ALLO
------------------------- -------- -------- ------ -------- ------- ---- ----
xxxxxBLOB 10,900 5,563 51 1,498 7 PERM USER

however i'm getting this in the alert log

ORA-1691: unable to extend lobsegment xxxxx.SYS_LOB0000071706C00002$$ by 311072 in tablespace xxxxxBLOB

any ideas as i'm really stuck?

thanks

its not big enough, make it bigger.

You dont have enough contiguous space for the next extent of the lob

but i have 5 gig free and i added a 100 meg datafile that can autoextend up to 2 gig with an extent of 10 megs - I'm only trying to insert a 3meg image? Is that really the issue?
