Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> About Temporary tablespaces and temporary segments allocation
Hi,
I have probably to beg you pardon for my question but I have a very short experince as
an Oracle dba and it is the first time I found a situation like the one I'm going to
describe to you.
Working on an existing Oracle database I found that all users had been defined with an
associated temporary tablespace
named TEMP but selecting from dba_tablespaces the TEMP tablespace
resulted to be PERMANET not TEMPORARY - problably because it had
been turned from TEMPORARY to PERMANENT in a later time.
I would like to know what happens in case the SORT_AREA_SIZE in not large enough to manage with sort opererations - are temporary segments still allocated on the TEMP tablespace (despite the fact that it is not TEMPORARY but PERMANET) or a temporary segment could be allocated only on a temporary tablespace?
Thanks in advance
Imma
