This figure illustrates |
Each Oracle DB is logically divided into one or more tablespaces |
One or more data files are explicitly created for each tablespace to physically store the data of all logical structures in a tablespace |
The combined size of a tablespace's data files is the total storage capacity of the tablespace (SYSTEMS has 2M while USERS has 4M) |
The combined storage capacity of a database's tablespaces is the total storage capacity of the database (6M in example above) |
