Hi Johnson, I don't believe that tempfiles can be sparse (although I may be wrong) and I am confident that datafiles cannot be. Maybe you should log a TAR with Oracle support to checkout whether tempfile can be sparse and just use datafiles until then. Anyway, can you please post the URL to the

Hi All, OK, you're all correct. Tempfiles can be sparse (it seems to be platform specific). Nevertheless, I'm unclear why Veritas think that is it any more of a problem for Oracle to get ENOSPC from a sparse tempfile if it is a QIO file than otherwise. Presumably Oracle would just raise ORA-7376

I think that the failure will not be caused by Oracle but by the quick-io driver itself since it has to have full access to all the physical allocated blocks and also it depends on how Veritas will communicate back its failure to Oracle. Getting rid of the sparse space may be a good idea!
