    Do I have Locally-Managed Tablespace?

    • Article Type: General

    Description:
    How can I tell if my site has "Locally-Managed Tablespace"?

    Resolution:
    Do this SQL:.
    SQL> select tablespace_name, table_name, next_extent from all_tables where owner like 'USM%';.
    If the NEXT_EXTENT column is blank, that indicates that it's in a Locally-managed tablespace..
    Note: I find that in pre-v16, pre-Oracle-9i installations this SQL will also show you the management for each tablespace ("Dictionary" or "Local"):.
    SQL> select substr(tablespace_name,1,20), extent_management from dba_tablespaces;.
    I haven't yet found an equivalent query for Oracle 9.
