When resumable space allocation is enabled, a statement that hits a space error — a full tablespace, a maxed-out datafile, an exceeded user quota — does not fail immediately. Oracle suspends it, raises a <code>RESUMABLE</code> alert, and waits. If a DBA frees the space inside the timeout window, the statement wakes up and continues from where it stopped. If the window expires first, the statement fails with the original space error.</p>
