One of the most basic concepts in Oracle is a tablespace. Tablespace is sort of a logical container used to group physical objects or datafiles. Each database contains at least one tablespace.
Tablespace is a logical entity because it is not visible in the filesystem. It consists of at least one datafile, which is physically located on the filesystem.. Oracle database contains at least SYSTEM tablespace, that contains most of the information about the structure and contents of the database.
Each table or index that is stored in the database, belongs to a tablespace. The tablespace acts like a bridge between Oracle database and filesystem.
Usually Oracle database also contains TEMP tablespace, that is used for sorting data on disk in case you run out of memory assigned for sorting data when you query the database.
Also usually there is USERS tablespace for storing user objects.
