RE: SYSTEM TABLESPACE IS SO HUGE ?

Re: SYSTEM TABLESPACE IS SO HUGE ?
You've already been given the best and simplest method to defragment the SYSTEM tablespace: export, recreate with locally managed tablespaces, do a full import. You _could_ take a look at which SYS objects have many extents and edit sql.bsq **caution**caution**caution** before recreating your new database. Before you do that, figure out if the tablespace is really fragmented or just heavily used. Each version of Oracle has required more SYSTEM tablespace. Oracle Apps could be filling it up. Or you could just have lots and lots of source code. Take a look at dba_extents and dba_free_space to see if you have lots of unusable space. It's pretty conceivable, since Oracle likes to put a 50% increase on many of its segment definitions. If the tablespace has lots of unusable free space, you could possibly try reclaiming the space the way I've often had to reclaim space in a live database with no downtime allowed. If Oracle will allow alter index rebuild and alter table move on the objects (I've never tried to move anything belonging to SYS), you could construct a tablespace map showing where each extent begins and ends. Hopefully you'll have an overextended index or table sitting at the bottom of a datafile. With nobody else able to access the database, do an alter index rebuild or alter table move, perhaps with new storage parameters. With luck, you'll now have a more compressed segment and space freed at the end of the file. Resize the data file to reclaim the space. Make sure your boss knows you might have to restore and do a point in time recovery if something goes wrong. - Original Message - To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 2:18 PM > Yes Steve, System tablespace was fragmented heavily and that's why its > taking 10 Gig . > The database size is 75 gig , and would you suggest me to take Full database > EXPORT and import it back after creating a new database with same structure > ?? > > or is there any best or simple way ?? > > Thanks > Madhu > > -Original Message- > Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 1:51 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > > > 10G?

I could see some Indexes & Tables owned by SYSTEM and OUTLN users in the SYSTEM tablespace .. can I rebuild these indexes ?? Or can I move all objects ( tables & indexes to SYSTEM & OUTLN default tablespaces ).. I too do not want to touch any SYS objects ... Would like to know the possibilities with no downtime !!! Thanks again Madhu -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 4:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L You've already been given the best and simplest method to defragment the SYSTEM tablespace: export, recreate with locally managed tablespaces, do a full import. You _could_ take a look at which SYS objects have many extents and edit sql.bsq **caution**caution**caution** before recreating your new database. Before you do that, figure out if the tablespace is really fragmented or just heavily used. Each version of Oracle has required more SYSTEM tablespace. Oracle Apps could be filling it up. Or you could just have lots and lots of source code. Take a look at dba_extents and dba_free_space to see if you have lots of unusable space. It's pretty conceivable, since Oracle likes to put a 50% increase on many of its segment definitions. If the tablespace has lots of unusable free space, you could possibly try reclaiming the space the way I've often had to reclaim space in a live database with no downtime allowed. If Oracle will allow alter index rebuild and alter table move on the objects (I've never tried to move anything belonging to SYS), you could construct a tablespace map showing where each extent begins and ends. Hopefully you'll have an overextended index or table sitting at the bottom of a datafile. With nobody else able to access the database, do an alter index rebuild or alter table move, perhaps with new storage parameters. With luck, you'll now have a more compressed segment and space freed at the end of the file. Resize the data file to reclaim the space. Make sure your boss knows you might have to restore and do a point in time recovery if something goes wrong. - Original Message - To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 2:18 PM > Yes Steve, System tablespace was fragmented heavily and that's why its > taking 10 Gig . > The database size is 75 gig , and would you suggest me to take Full database > EXPORT and import it back after creating a new database with same structure > ?? > > or is there any best or simple way ?? > > Thanks > Madhu > > -Original Message- > Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 1:51 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > > > 10G?

Re: SYSTEM TABLESPACE IS SO HUGE ?
Other than the SYSTEM tablespace consuming 10Gb of storage, are there any indications at all that there a performance problem of any kind related to the purported fragmentation? Upshot: if it's not causing any problems, then just live with it; what's not hurting you isn't hurting you. Otherwise, if you can see problems related to data dictionary or if someone desperately wants that tablespace shrunk from 10Gb to 1Gb or less, then recreate the database... - Original Message - To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 1:18 PM > Yes Steve, System tablespace was fragmented heavily and that's why its > taking 10 Gig . > The database size is 75 gig , and would you suggest me to take Full database > EXPORT and import it back after creating a new database with same structure > ?? > > or is there any best or simple way ?? > > Thanks > Madhu > > -Original Message- > Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 1:51 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > > > 10G?

Re: SYSTEM TABLESPACE IS SO HUGE ?
>From a later posting on this thread, it sounds like SYSTEM was originally configured at that size?
