Re: Clean temporary tablespace

Jared

Though manual says it, in reality the SMON does not really release the TEMP segments at periodic intervals. I agree with the fact that if pcti
> 0 then SMON is supposed to coalesce. But the frequency with which it
does may not be acceptable when compared to the rate at which the TEMP segment is getting filled. Hence i suggested this. This is mentioned in Metalink too.
