Heh, this is a common problem. The error message is misleading. It really means it can't build a "temp" segment used to create the new object of the right size. Remember when creating the initial extent there has to be one of the same size or bigger. It means you don't have enough space or too fragmented.

It is refering to the temp segment needed to create the table, not a "true' temp segment that you are thinking of.
When you create a table, it creates a temporary segment the destination tablespace before it actually marks it for the table segment.

Hi DBAs,

I have a user Test who has a default tablespace trf_data and temporary tablespace temporary. When trying to create a table I got unable to extend temp segment in tablespace trf_data. My question is if I have temporary tablespace set up as temporary why is Oracle creating temp segments in trf_data?

Thanks
Rick
