Tablespace Overview
Tablespace is used to logically organize data within a database. A database consists of one or more tablespaces, which helps in the following key aspects:
- Why Use Tablespaces?
- Control Disk Space: Tablespaces help control the amount of disk space the database consumes.
- Efficient Data Placement: DBAs can deploy different types of data in different locations to enhance I/O performance, backup, and recovery operations.
- Specialized Tablespaces: Experienced administrators often create dedicated tablespaces for storing indexes and triggers to improve database performance.
By leveraging tablespaces, database management becomes more flexible and optimized for performance, maintenance, and scalability.
