Dan, is your datafile approaching (or past) the maxsize setting? AUTOEXTEND functionality won't grow a file beyond this but I believe it's possible to manuallly resize the file beyond the MAXSIZE figure. That would explain the apparent anomaly. regards, Mike Hately
-----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 3:39 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have a 9.2 database running on Solaris 8. I'm creating some test tables with indexes. The USER_INDX tablespace's datafile is set to autoextend (as are TEMP and USER_DATA). When the system attempts to create indexes, instead of auotextending the datafile (there is plenty of space on the device), it throws an ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace USER_INDX error. If I manually resize the datafile and rerun it, no problems. Anyone else heard of this behavior? I can't find anything on Metalink that fits the problem definition.
