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:

  1. Why Use Tablespaces?
  2. Control Disk Space: Tablespaces help control the amount of disk space the database consumes.
  3. Efficient Data Placement: DBAs can deploy different types of data in different locations to enhance I/O performance, backup, and recovery operations.
  4. 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.
