Getting ORA-01654 error even though tablespace has free space.

2777349Jun 3 2016 — edited Jun 5 2016

Hi All,


Last week we have encountered a weird kind of situation on our oracle production machine. We have got an error as below -


ORA-01654: unable to extend index SAPSCH.DATCAL~0  by 1024 in tablespace TSAPPT2"


When we checked there was around 18GB of free space in this tablespace.


Tablespace info

---------------------

  1. Pos. Tablespace     Type  Status ExtMan.  SegMan.  Back. BigFi. Files/AuEx.  Compr.  Encr.

Total[KB]   Used[%]    Free[KB] MaxSize[KB]  ExtSize[KB]  FreeExt.    Largest[KB]

1 - TSAPPT2  DATA ONLINE    LOCAL AUTO      NO NO       10/10      OLTP NO

309964800     94.05 18430720 309964800 0     19905 960:960:960:960:960


Even there was sufficient space on file system level as well.  Further we had to add datafile to this tablespace which has fixed the issue.

There is no quota assigned to this user on tablespace and also auto extend was OFF.


But we are not able to understand , if we had 18GB of space already free in tablespace why did we got "Not able to extend index" error.


Please suggest? thanks
