Hi Friend, I got these instructions here in the forum in the past. It solved my problem. I guess it can help friends that need to re-create UNDOTBS. This is a sample. Change script as you need. conn sys/password as sysdba Identify the current undo tablespace: set long 1000 select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLESPACE', 'UNDOTBS1') from dual; DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLESP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CREATE UNDO TABLESPACE "UNDOTBS1" DATAFILE 'C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\DB10G\UNDOTBS01.DBF' SIZE 26214400 AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 5242880 MAXSIZE 32767M BLOCKSIZE 8192 EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL AUTOALLOCATE 1 row selected. Use this information to build a new undo tablespace, remember to change both the tablespace name and the datafile name. Also, don't forget to define a smaller size or there isn't much point doing this: CREATE UNDO TABLESPACE "UNDOTBS2" DATAFILE 'C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\DB10G\UNDOTBS02.DBF' SIZE 26214400 AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 5242880 MAXSIZE 32767M BLOCKSIZE 8192 EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL AUTOALLOCATE; Tell the system your switching to another undo tablespace: ALTER SYSTEM SET undo_tablespace=UNDOTBS2; Drop the original undo tablespace: DROP TABLESPACE UNDOTBS1 INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES; Especially on Windows, you might find the datafiles associated with the undo tablespace remain on disk. If so, restart the instance: SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE STARTUP Then manually remove the datafiles associated with the initial undo tablespace. These should be listed by the query at the top. You should now have a smaller undo tablespace.
