In this article, we are going to solve ORA 12954 the request exceeds the maximum allowed database size of 12 GB.
The above error comes because of oracle XE (Express Edition), we faced this error in the oracle 18c XE PDB database.
Steps to solve ORA 12954
In that case, don't have only two choices first, delete this database and recreate the new database, and the second choice is that we can resize the system, sysaux, and undo tablespace in the CDB database.
Using the below query you will get the resize command for those tablespaces which we can resize.
