I have been asked to look at an Oracle 6 DB problem and can't get to the bottom of it. I only have access via a dialup modem at 9.6 kbaud.
The error appears when trying to insert into a table, 'ORA-01556: maximum number of 57 extents exceeded' the table in question has max extents set to 800, I have added a datafile to the tablespace that the table resides in with no success.
Any ideas?
(I know an Oracle 6 DB is past its sell by date - but a shiny new system is on the horizon)

Ever feel like you stepped into a time machine?
9600 baud modem in Oracle 6? Hehehe.
We really need to see your entire session. why do you say it's the table that exceeded it's extents? It could be TEMP space, ROLLBACK or the index tablespace. but we're only guessing because you gave only a partial error message.
I don't know about version 6 (I was using Oracle with that version), but that error number does not translate to your error message in current version of Oracle.

I am reading up on Data Blocks, Extents and Segments (for Oracle9i as I cannot find Oracle6 documentation) but in the meantime
The error comes from an Oracle Forms application and the user can press (I think F19) to 'show error' and this shows
SQL statement had Error of insert into rts (blah blah blah)
and at the bottom of the screen
ORA-01556: maximum number of 57 extents exceeded
The rts table is currently on its 57th extent and the max extents is set to 800.
It appears the ORA-01556 error has changed from this, I have googled it and can find references to the error my user is getting.
I am curently locked out for some reason but will look into TEMP/ROLLBACK and INDEX tablespaces when I get back on
Thanks Michel Cadot and joy_division for your help

As Michel said, there is no way to set "max extends" in Oracle 6, so when you say "max extents is set to 800." that can not be true for Oracle 6.
When I started to work it was on Oracle 7.3, and the "GREAT NEW FEATURE!!" That I read a lot about while learning was that the maximum number of extents for an object was no longer a fixed value depending on extend size and block size as it has been prior to that, so there was no longer the need to monitor and re-create objects as needed when they reached their max extends.

hello, i have the same problem.
Oracle V6 has no TEMP Tablespace. For sort operation
it use a temp.table in the tablespace with the "default storage".
i have alter the default storage and my create index runs.
show the current values with: select * from dba_tablespaces;
alter tablespace users default storage
(initial 100k next 100k maxextents 99 pctincrease 50);
change the init and next to your size needed
and check the free space in the tablespace.
