ORA-01654: unable to extend index

Question

Calling all Oracle Gurus!

I am in the process of clustering a well tested application on WebSphere. The application in question made it about half way through processing 1k of JMS messages from a queue before this happened.

---- Begin backtrace for Nested Throwables
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01654: unable to extend index DABUAT.INDEX1 by 128 in tablespace DABUAT_TBLSP

    at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)
    at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoer.processError(T4CTTIoer.java:331)
    at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoer.processError(T4CTTIoer.java:288)
    at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4C8Oall.receive(T4C8Oall.java:745)

I have had a quick look online and found a few possible suggestions as to why this could have happend, if anyone could give a clear explanation as to why this may have occurred now my application has been clusterd I would be most grateful.

Regards Karl

Answer 1

You are out of disk space.

Increase your TABLESPACE:

ALTER TABLESPACE DABUAT_TBLSP
ADD DATAFILE 'C:\FolderWithPlentyOfSpace\DABUAT_TBLSP001.DBF' 
SIZE 4M
AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 4M
MAXSIZE 64G;
