Oracle Create User with custom tablespace and datafile

Hi all,

Through I have explained the procedure to delete/drop the user with tablespace and datafiles. I though of giving information about creating a user with custom tablespace and datafile.

Pre-requisites

1. Oracle database
2. Login as sys as sysdba

Procedure

Create tablespace

Syntax: CREATE TABLESPACE DATAFILE SIZE ;
Example: CREATE TABLESPACE sample_tablespace DATAFILE 'C:\\samplets.dbf' SIZE 100M;
Example: CREATE TABLESPACE sample_tablespace DATAFILE '\usr\local\datafiles\samplets.dbf' SIZE 100M;

User creation

Alter session
ALTER SESSION SET "_ORACLE_SCRIPT"=true;

Create User
Syntax: CREATE USER IDENTIFIED BY DEFAULT TABLESPACE ;
Example: CREATE USER sampleuser IDENTIFIED BY samplepwd DEFAULT TABLESPACE sample_tablespace;

Grant privilieges
Syntax: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES to ;
Example: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES to sampleuser;

Commit the commands
commit;

Now, you should be able to create the tablespace and made that as default tablespace for the newly created user.

Hope, this information helps you.

Oracle Drop/Delete User with All tables and files

Hi All,

Pre-requisites

Oracle database with the following

1. User
2. Tablespace of the user
3. Datafile of the tablespace

Procedure

Drop the user

Syntax: DROP USER CASCADE;
Example: DROP USER sampleuser CASCADE;

Make the tablespace offline

Syntax: ALTER TABLESPACE OFFLINE;
