ORA-01653: unable to extend table DISPATCH.T_EVENT_DATA by 4096 in tablespa
Hello everybody,
I try to explain the problem I had, because I still didn't understand real causes.
Everything started when I got this error:
ORA-01653: unable to extend table DISPATCH.T_EVENT_DATA by 4096 in tablespace USERS
I'm using ASM.
This was the situation of the tablespace USER:
FILE NAME TB NAME SIZE (gb) STATUS
DATA/evodb/datafile/users.261.662113927 USERS 63,999969482421875 AVAILABLE
and this was the situation of the DATAS diskgroup:
GR # NAME FREE_MB USABLE STATE SECTOR SIZE BLOCKSIZE
2 DATA 60000 60000 MOUNTED 512 4096
That diskgroup is composed by 5 files:
PATH DISK# GR NAME FREE MB OS MB TOTAL MB NAME FAILGROUP
/dev/asm2 0 DATA 12000 48127 48127 DATA_0000 DATA_0000
/dev/asm3 1 DATA 12000 48127 48127 DATA_0001 DATA_0001
/dev/asm4 2 DATA 12000 48127 48127 DATA_0002 DATA_0002
/dev/asm5 3 DATA 12000 48127 48127 DATA_0003 DATA_0003
/dev/asm6 4 DATA 12000 48127 48127 DATA_0004 DATA_0004
This are the information about the table got from the dba_tables table:

So, my question is:
Why did it happen?
Why the table was unable to allocate the space? From what I can see the space was there.
I alstro tried an ALTER TABLESPACE USER COALESCE, but with no luck.
To solve the problem, I had to create another tablespace and put there the T_EVENT_DATA table.
Looking forward to read some answer,
thanks in advance!
