ORA-01658: unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace APEX_4774507955513063

Problem


Hit the above error when loading a DMP file.

Solution


Run the query to verify your issue:

SELECT Substr(df.tablespace_name,1,20) "Tablespace Name",
Substr(df.file_name,1,40) "File Name",
Round(df.bytes/1024/1024,2) "Size (M)",
Round(e.used_bytes/1024/1024,2) "Used (M)",
Round(f.free_bytes/1024/1024,2) "Free (M)",
Rpad(' '|| Rpad ('X',Round(e.used_bytes*10/df.bytes,0), 'X'),11,'-') "% Used"
FROM DBA_DATA_FILES DF,
(SELECT file_id,
Sum(Decode(bytes,NULL,0,bytes)) used_bytes
FROM dba_extents
GROUP by file_id) E,
(SELECT Max(bytes) free_bytes,
file_id
FROM dba_free_space
GROUP BY file_id) f
WHERE e.file_id (+) = df.file_id
AND df.file_id = f.file_id (+)
ORDER BY df.tablespace_name,

df.file_name;

Then fix it with the following:

alter database datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/XE/APEX_4774507955513063.dbf' autoextend on maxsize unlimited;
