We have oracle express edition 11g i.e. ORACLE XE 64bit. There is 10GB available space in the database. But system tablespace is 98% full, there are 2 system tabalespaces. When we (our startup team) try to ADD or RESIZE the datafile or tablespace using ALTER command we get following error:
ORA -12953: The request exceed the maximum allowed database size of 11GB
What should be done to add or resize the datafile?
What should be done to add or resize the datafile?
Nothing can be done. The XE version is limited to 11GB of data, see this link
Oracle Database Express Edition
Oracle Database Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) is an entry-level edition of Oracle Database that is quick to download, simple to install and manage, and is free to develop, deploy, and distribute. Oracle Database XE makes it easy to upgrade to the other editions of Oracle without costly and complex migrations. Oracle Database XE can be installed on any size machine with any number of CPUs, stores up to 11 GB of user data, using up to 1 GB of memory, and using only one CPU on the host machine. Support is provided by an online forum.
You can purchase Standard or Enterprise edition, which don't have this restriction (but you must pay for it).
You can also register in Oracle's Technology Network and use any of Oracle's product (including Oracle's Standard and Enterprice database editions from their download site) for free, but only for testing and development purposes.
