    -When a schema object such as a table or index is created, its segment is created within a designated tablespace in the database.

    -For example, suppose you create a table in a specific tablespace using the CREATE TABLE command with the TABLESPACE option.

    -Oracle allocates the space for this table's data segment in one or more of the datafiles that constitute the specified tablespace.

    -An object's segment allocates space in only one tablespace of a database.
