GOCDB/Regional Module Technical Documentation
1- Create Custom tablespaces for GOCDB (Optional)
GOCDB-4 database contains 3 distinct groups of tables: Metadata or core data, GOCDB data, and local data. Although this is not mandatory, we recommend that 3 different tablespaces are created to store these different tables.
- If you prefer, you can skip this step and rely on the default 'USERS' tablespace.
Sugested Tablespace Name | Min Recommended Size | Purpose |
---|---|---|
TS_GRIDCORE | 50m | Will store the core tables containing schema metadata |
TS_GOCDBDATA | 50m | Will store GOCDB data tables (common structure to all GOCDB modules) |
TS_LOCALDATA | 50m | Will store your local tables if you have some local information to store |
Note: You must configure gocdb to use these custom tablespace names in the 'local_info.xml' config file as described below.
To create these tablespaces, run the following script (as SYSTEM user):
CREATE TABLESPACE TS_GRIDCORE;
CREATE TABLESPACE TS_GOCDBDATA;
CREATE TABLESPACE TS_LOCALDATA;
The created tablespaces will then be:
- Permanent, locally managed and with system allocated extent size.
- The corresponding datafiles will be created in the location provided in the DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST parameter and with size 100 MB.
- The datafiles will be autoextensible with no maximum size.
- Names of datafiles will be similar to "ora_applicat_zxyykpt000.dbf"
You can customise tablespace creation, there are many possible options (see Oracle docs for further info). For example:
CREATE TABLESPACE <tblspc_name> DATAFILE 'C:\ORA\<fileNameForTableSpace>.dbf' SIZE 50M AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE 100M;
If you created these custom tablespaces, you will need to grant your GOCDB user unlimited access (you do not need to do this if you rely on the default 'USERS' tablespace). Use the following script:
ALTER USER GOCDB QUOTA UNLIMITED ON TS_GRIDCORE;
ALTER USER GOCDB QUOTA UNLIMITED ON TS_GOCDBDATA;
ALTER USER GOCDB QUOTA UNLIMITED ON TS_LOCALDATA;
