Resumable Space

If you were running a long batch program and the tablespace run out of space, this would cause an error, you would
increase the amount of space in the tablespace and rerun your job, and this could take quite a bit of time.

Oracle's resumable space will suspend the running job that has run into problems due to lack of space and will
automatically continue when the space issue has been fixed.

You can make all operations run in resumable space allocation mode by using a alter session command. The
following database operations are resumable
 Queries - they can always be resumed after the temporary tablespace has run out of space.
 DML Operations - insert, delete, and update can all be resumed
 DDL Operations - index operations involving creating, rebuilding and altering are resumable as are create
table as select operations
 import and export operations - SQL loader jobs are resumable but to must use the resumable parameter in the
SQL loader job.

You can resume operations that are of the following types of errors
 out of space - typical error message is the ORA-01653
 maximum extents errors - typical error message is the ORA-01628
 users space quota errors - typical error message is the ORA-01536
