Managing Tablespaces |
||||
A database is divided into logical storage units called tablespaces that can be used to group related logical structures together. Each database is logically divided into one or more tablespaces. One or more data files are explicitly created for each tablespace to physically store the data of all logical structures in a tablespace. You have seen how to store and display data in tables. These tables are created in tablespaces. Tablespaces and all the objects they contain are logical objects. Logical data structures are stored in the physical files of the database, in data files associated with each tablespace.
