Listing Tablespaces

Overview

list_tablespaces is a script that will tell you about the tablespaces in your database. For each tablespace, it will display the following items of information:

• The tablespace name
• The total size (in bytes)
• The space used (in bytes)
• The free space (in bytes)

This script currently has one limitation. It will not list information for any tablespace that is completely empty. For this reason, you often won't see temporary tablespaces listed in the output.
