RE: Oracle TEMPORARY SEGMENT

Hi,

This is what I use to clean up a temp tablespace. The tablespace is named 'temp' and it is normally set to PCTINCREASE of 10. You will need to insert the correct values for your temp tablespace. Altering the tablespace a little wakes us SMON which will clean things up if it can.

alter tablespace temp default storage(pctincrease 0); alter tablespace temp default storage(pctincrease 10);

50Mb seems rather small for a temp tablespace.
