The SYSAUX tablespace is created by default, but you can specify its data file attributes during database creation.
To specify data file attributes for the SYSAUX tablespace:
- Include the
SYSAUX DATAFILEclause in theCREATEDATABASEstatement.
If you include a DATAFILE clause for the SYSTEM tablespace, then you must specify the SYSAUX DATAFILE clause as well, or the CREATE DATABASE statement will fail. This requirement does not exist if the Oracle Managed Files feature is enabled (see “Specifying Oracle Managed Files at Database Creation”).
- About the SYSAUX Tablespace
TheSYSAUXtablespace is always created at database creation. TheSYSAUXtablespace serves as an auxiliary tablespace to theSYSTEMtablespace. Because it is the default tablespace for many Oracle Database features and products that previously required their own tablespaces, it reduces the number of tablespaces required by the database. It also reduces the load on theSYSTEMtablespace.
