Find out free space on tablespace

Question

Our application has failed a few times because an  ORA-01536  space quota exceeded for tablespace   and we would like to be able to prevent this by checking regularly the free space on the tablespace and raising an alert when it drops below certain level   Is there any way to find out how much free space is left in a tablespace   After some research  I am not a DBA   I tried the following   select max bytes-bytes from user ts quotas   select sum nvl bytes 0   from user free space    but those queries return completely different results

There are many ways to check the size  but as a developer we dont have much access to query meta tables  I find this solution very easy  Note  if you are getting error message ORA-01653    The ORA-01653 error is caused because you need to add space to a tablespace       --Size of All Table Space  --1  Used Space SELECT TABLESPACE NAME TO CHAR SUM NVL BYTES 0   1024 1024 1024   99 999 990 99   AS  USED SPACE IN GB   FROM USER SEGMENTS GROUP BY TABLESPACE NAME --2  Free Space SELECT TABLESPACE NAME TO CHAR SUM NVL BYTES 0   1024 1024 1024   99 999 990 99   AS  FREE SPACE IN GB   FROM   USER FREE SPACE GROUP BY TABLESPACE NAME  --3  Both Free  amp  Used SELECT USED TABLESPACE NAME  USED USED BYTES AS  USED SPACE IN GB     FREE FREE BYTES AS  FREE SPACE IN GB   FROM  SELECT TABLESPACE NAME TO CHAR SUM NVL BYTES 0   1024 1024 1024   99 999 990 99   AS USED BYTES FROM USER SEGMENTS GROUP BY TABLESPACE NAME  USED INNER JOIN  SELECT TABLESPACE NAME TO CHAR SUM NVL BYTES 0   1024 1024 1024   99 999 990 99   AS FREE BYTES FROM  USER FREE SPACE GROUP BY TABLESPACE NAME  FREE ON  USED TABLESPACE NAME   FREE TABLESPACE NAME     Thanks

The following query will help to find out free space of tablespaces in MB  select tablespace name   sum bytes  1024 1024 from dba free space group by tablespacE name order by 1

Unless I m mistaken  the above code does not take unallocated space into account  so if you really want to know when you ll hit a hard limit  you should use maxbytes   I think the code below does that  It calculates free space as   freespace    unallocated space   select       free tablespace name       free bytes       reserv maxbytes       reserv bytes       reserv maxbytes - reserv bytes   free bytes  max free bytes        reserv datafiles from      select tablespace name  count 1  datafiles  sum maxbytes  maxbytes  sum bytes  bytes from dba data files group by tablespace name  reserv       select tablespace name  sum bytes  bytes from dba free space group by tablespace name  free where free tablespace name   reserv tablespace name

You can also get a rough idea of table space usage by looking at the size of the files on your disk   My DB is created with max extents  and each dbf file can only grow to 32gigs - so when the last one reaches 32gigs  you know you re about to run out of room and need to add another
