Srini,

Answer to your question is NO, as far as I know.

Why don't you define your temporary tablespace as 'TEMPORARY' assuming your database is at least 7.3 !

Example:

alter tablespace temp temporary;

If you do so, the tablespace cannot be used to hold any permanent segments, only for temporary segments created during queries. When the query completes, the space used by the temporary segment within the the temporary tablespace is not dropped. Instead, the space used by the temporary segment is available for use by other queries; this allows the sorting operation to avoid the costs of allocating and releasing space for temporary segments.

HTH,
Shantanu
