Hi there,
I know it's Friday and by the end of the week we normally are not that alert anymore.
However now we have a very puzzling problem, one that leaves two DBA's very amazed.
This morning our alert-log of a 9.2.0.8 database on AIX 5.3 showed:
ORA-1653: unable to extend table PERFSTAT.STATS in tablespace TOOLS
Easy, one would say. Extend the tablespace and you're done.
However the tablespace is on autoextend, not even mentioned that it has 2.5Gb of free space.
It is also "Locally Managed", with uniform extent size of 16Kb and manual "segment space management"
The index of this table is in the same tablespace.
The storage parameters are set to "unlimited" possibilities.
A manual
exec statspack.snap
results in the same error where as a
create table statstest as select * from stats$sqltext ;
works fine. The mentioned source table here is the one which seems unable to extend due to the "tablespace restrictions"
Some storage parameters:
CREATE TABLE "PERFSTAT"."STATS$SQLTEXT" (
"HASH_VALUE" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
"TEXT_SUBSET" VARCHAR2 (31) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"PIECE" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
"SQL_TEXT" VARCHAR2 (64),
"ADDRESS" RAW (8),
"COMMAND_TYPE" NUMBER,
"LAST_SNAP_ID" NUMBER,
CONSTRAINT "STATS$SQLTEXT_PK" PRIMARY KEY
("HASH_VALUE", "TEXT_SUBSET", "PIECE
")

Can this be some kind of Data Dictionairy corruption ??
