You can select an existing tablespace name from the list, or enter a new tablespace, causing the installer to create a new tablespace for the schema. If all your tablespaces are stored in Oracle files that reside on RAM devices, Precise for Oracle tablespaces must also reside in a tablespace stored in an Oracle file that resides on a RAM device.

2. If a tablespace is chosen, enter the datafile for the tablespace.

   Info
   This is the name of the datafile in which the tablespace will be created. This text box is only available if you use a new tablespace. If the Oracle instance belongs to an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) database, you must use a datafile on a shared storage device that is accessible to all Oracle instances of the Oracle RAC.

If all your tablespaces are stored in Oracle files that reside on RAM devices, Precise for Oracle tablespaces must also reside in a tablespace stored in an Oracle file that resides on a RAM device.

4. If a temporary tablespace name is chosen, enter the datafile for the temporary tablespace.

   Info
   This is the name of the datafile in which the temporary tablespace will be created. This text box is only available if you use a new temporary tablespace. If the Oracle instance belongs to an Oracle RAC database, you must use a datafile on a shared storage device that is accessible to all Oracle instances of the Oracle RAC.
