how to check tablespace in oracle
To list the names and various other of all tablespace in a database, use the following query on the DBA_TABLESPACES view:
SELECT TABLESPACE_NAME "TABLESPACE", EXTENT_MANAGEMENT,FORCE_LOGGING, BLOCK_SIZE, SEGMENT_SPACE_MANAGEMENT FROM DBA_TABLESPACES;Download
To list the Datafiles and Associated Tablespace of a Database
To list the names, sizes, and associated tablespace of a database, enter the following query on the DBA_DATA_FILES view
SELECT FILE_NAME, BLOCKS, TABLESPACE_NAME FROM DBA_DATA_FILES;Download sql
How to check oracle tablespace usage
To produce statistics about free extents and coalescing activity for each tablespace in the database, enter the following query:
set echo off feedback off verify off pages 75Download sql
col tablespace_name format a20 head 'Tablespace Name'
col total format 999,999,999,999 head 'Total(KB)'
col used format 999,999,999,999 head 'Used(KB)'
col free format 999,999,999,999 head 'Free(KB)'
col pct format 999 head 'Percent|Used'

We have another view dba_tablespace_usage_metrics introduced from 11.2 which can be used to find oracle tablespace utilization. The values reported are in blocks, not bytes, which can be easily computed using the database block size
column value new_value dbblock noprint
select value from v$parameter where name = 'db_block_size';
select tablespace_name,
used_space used_blocks,
(used_space*&dbblocks)/(1024*1024) used_mb,
tablespace_size tablespace_blocks,
(tablespace_size*&dbblocks)/(1024*1024) tablespace_mb,
used_percent
from dba_tablespace_usage_metrics;

where a.file_id = b.file_id
and c.file_id = b.file_id
and c.block_id = b.maximum
order by a.tablespace_name,a.file_name;
To check the free space , largest free chunk and no of free chunk in tablespace.

How to check Oracle tablespace growth history
Starting Oracle 10G, Oracle records tablespaces usage (allocated, used etc.) in AWR which can be retrieved by querying the data dictionary view dba_hist_tbspc_space_usage. We can use below script view the history of tablespace(s) usage and predict the expected growth for the future.
This script is based on AWR. If your AWR retention period is 7 days, this script can only tell the growth history of last 7 days and predict based on last 7 days growth. I would recommend to change AWR retention to at least 35 days – this will also be more helpful in case of performance tuning situation as you will have a longer window from the past to look into for performance comparisons.
SELECT TO_CHAR (sp.begin_interval_time,'DD-MM-YYYY') days
, ts.tsname
, max(round((tsu.tablespace_size* dt.block_size )/(1024*1024),2) ) cur_size_MB
, max(round((tsu.tablespace_usedsize* dt.block_size )/(1024*1024),2)) usedsize_MB
FROM DBA_HIST_TBSPC_SPACE_USAGE tsu
, DBA_HIST_TABLESPACE_STAT ts
, DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT sp
, DBA_TABLESPACES dt
WHERE tsu.tablespace_id= ts.ts#
AND tsu.snap_id = sp.snap_id
AND ts.tsname = dt.tablespace_name
AND ts.tsname NOT IN ('SYSAUX','SYSTEM')
GROUP BY TO_CHAR (sp.begin_interval_time,'DD-MM-YYYY'), ts.tsname
ORDER BY ts.tsname, days;
