Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: drop temp tablespace
After you switch all the users to the new temp ts, make sure there is no
objects sitting in your old temp tablespace:
select count(*) from dba_segments where tablespace_name = <old_temp_ts>;
if you get 0, then run
alter tablespace <old_temp_ts> offline;
alter database datafile '/oracle/u2/oradata/YPD/temp01.dbf' offline; alter database datafile '/oracle/u2/oradata/YPD/temp02.dbf' offline; alter database datafile '/oracle/u2/oradata/YPD/temp03.dbf' offline; alter database datafile '/oracle/u2/oradata/YPD/temp04.dbf' offline; alter database datafile '/oracle/u2/oradata/YPD/temp05.dbf' offline;
drop tablespace <old_temp_ts> ;
If this does not work, you proabably have a wait a while and try it again. If still not working, you might have to bounce the DB.

Subject: drop temp tablespace
Hi List,
Our TEMP tablespace took Oracle default setting that was auto extending up to 32 GB. Last week the tablespace had grown to 18 GB. I tried to drop the tablespace after I removed any body's temporary tablespace to a newly created temp tablespace with much smaller size. The dropping process is very slow. I started last Friday. The used size in the old temp tablespace had been decreased from 18 GB to 3.8 GB yesterday afternoon. I issued the drop command through TOAD job scheduler. There was one failure with the job when I checked this morning. The dropping process seemed stopped. I had to kill the job. Now the used size in the old temp tablespace is coming back slowly even through I issued another dropping command in SQLPLUS. I was wondering if any one has any way to drop the temp tablespace quickly. Thanks in advance.
