About Data Files

Data files arc thc operating system files that storę the data within the databasc. The data is written to these files in an Oracle proprictary format that cannot be read by other programs. Tempfiles arc a spccial class of data files that arc associated only with temporary tablespaces.

Data files can be broken down into the following componcnts:

■Segment

A segment contains a specific type of databasc object. For example, a table is stored in a table segment, and an index is stored in an index segment. A data file can contain many segments.

■Extent

An extent is a contiguous set of data blocks w ithin a segment. Oracle Databasc allocates space for segments in units of one extent. When the existing extents of a segment are fuli, the databasc allocates another extent for that segment.

■Data błock

A data błock, also called a database błock, is the smallest unit of I/O to databasc storage. An extent consisLs of several contiguous data blocks. The database uses a default błock size at database creation.

After the database has been created, it is not possible to change the default błock size without re-creating the database. It is possible, however, to create a tablespace with a błock size different than the default błock size.

Segments, cxtcnts. and data blocks are all logical structurcs. Only Oracle Databasc can dcterminc how many data blocks are in a file. The operating system rccognizcs only
