At some point you may end up getting a message from your Red Hat Network Satellite regarding the Database utilization. So - you can take a look for yourself and then extend the Tablespace -bash-3.2$ db-control report Tablespace                  Size    Used   Avail   Use% DATA_TBS                    4.8G    4.1G  701.2M    86% SYSAUX                      500M  172.3M  327.6M    34% SYSTEM                      400M  253.1M  146.8M    63% TEMP_TBS                   1000M      0B   1000M     0% UNDO_TBS                   1000M  886.3M  113.6M    89% USERS...
