How to find tablespace usage in oracle


How to find tablespace usage in oracle

Oracle stores data logically in tablespaces and physically in datafiles associated with the corresponding tablespace. A database is divided into one or more logical storage units called tablespaces. Tablespaces are divided into logical units of storage called segments, which are further divided into extents. Extents are a collection of contiguous blocks.

Tablespaces are the bridge between certain physical and logical components of the Oracle database. Tablespaces are where you store Oracle database objects such as tables, indexes and rollback segments.  You can think of a tablespace like a shared disk drive in Windows. You can store files on your shared drive, move files around and remove files. The same is true with tablespaces. 

A tablespace is made up of one or more database datafiles. The total amount of storage space available in a tablespace is the sum of the physical disk size of all the datafiles associated with that tablespace (less some system overhead). The datafiles are created automatically when the tablespace is defined. In most cases, all datafile space is pre-allocated; that is, the space is set aside when the datafile is created. Thus, when you create a tablespace, you define the initial size of the associated datafile.

So how to find the tablespace usage in the oracle database, here is the SQL script that you can run into Sqlplus and get the answer.


Usage in Megabytes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

set pages 999
col tablespace_name format a40
col "size MB" format 999,999.99
col "free MB" format 999,999.99
col "% Used" format 999.99
select      tsu.tablespace_name, ceil(tsu.used_mb) "size MB"
,     decode(ceil(tsf.free_mb), NULL,0,ceil(tsf.free_mb)) "free MB"
,     decode(100 - ceil(tsf.free_mb/tsu.used_mb*100), NULL, 100,
               100 - ceil(tsf.free_mb/tsu.used_mb*100)) "% Used"
from  (select tablespace_name, sum(bytes)/1024/1024 used_mb
      from dba_data_files group by tablespace_name union all
      select      tablespace_name || '  **TEMP**'
      ,     sum(bytes)/1024/1024 used_mb
      from dba_temp_files group by tablespace_name) tsu
,     (select tablespace_name, sum(bytes)/1024/1024 free_mb
      from dba_free_space group by tablespace_name) tsf
where tsu.tablespace_name = tsf.tablespace_name (+)
order by 4
/



Usage in Gigabytes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

set pages 999
col tablespace_name format a40
col "size GB" format 999,999.99
col "free GB" format 999,999.99
col "% Used" format 999.99
select      tsu.tablespace_name, ceil(tsu.used_gb) "size GB"
,     decode(ceil(tsf.free_gb), NULL,0,ceil(tsf.free_gb)) "free GB"
,     decode(100 - ceil(tsf.free_gb/tsu.used_gb*100), NULL, 100,
               100 - ceil(tsf.free_gb/tsu.used_gb*100)) "% Used"
from  (select tablespace_name, sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 used_gb
      from dba_data_files group by tablespace_name union all
      select      tablespace_name || '  **TEMP**'
      ,     sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 used_gb
      from dba_temp_files group by tablespace_name) tsu
,     (select tablespace_name, sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 free_gb
      from dba_free_space group by tablespace_name) tsf
where tsu.tablespace_name = tsf.tablespace_name (+)
order by 4
/



Note:

If you want to know usage for particular tablespace(s) like say system, sysaux and users then what you can do is use ‘and condition with the where clause like this:

where tsu.tablespace_name = tsf.tablespace_name (+)
and tsu.tablespace_name in (‘SYSTEM’,’SYSAUX’,’USERS’)
order by 4
/

If you wish you can use floor function instead of ceil function.

It is better if you use a text editor to format SQL Code before using it in oracle database.
