    - The CREATE TABLESPACE statement is used to create a tablespace, which is an allocation of space in the database that can contain schema objects.

    - There are 3 types of TABLESPACE

    - Permanent tablespace - It contains persistent schema objects. Objects in permanent tablespaces are stored in datafiles.

    - Undo tablespace - It is a type of permanent tablespace used by Oracle Database to manage undo data if you are running your database in automatic undo management mode. Oracle strongly recommends that you use automatic undo management mode rather than using rollback segments for undo.

    - Temporary tablespace - It contains schema objects only for the duration of a session. Objects in temporary tablespaces are stored in tempfiles.
