ORA-02140: invalid tablespace name | Karan Rajpoot

                                                     ORA-02140: invalid tablespace name

Error: - ORA-02140: invalid tablespace name 


Cause: - Tablespace name has not provided correctly while running the alter command


Solution: - Use the correct tablespace name and again retry to execute alter command


Command to check the tablespaces name: - select name from v$tablespace;

Example: -

SQL> alter tablespace user add datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/user02.dbf' ;
alter tablespace user add datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prod/user02.dbf'
                 *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02140: invalid tablespace name

Note: - In the above command, tablespace name provided incorrectly, Correct tablespace name was USERS. Now again rerun the command using correct tablespace name.

Hope that will resolve your issue.
