I was running a big query again Oracle 7.3.3 at NT server. I got error message says:

"ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 315 in tablespace SELMC" *SELMC is the name of tablespace.

I told the DBA and he increased the segment space for me. I run the same query again, I got the same error, but it said unable to extend temp segment by 417. Then the DBA drop the old segment and created new temp segment with bigger size, but when I run the query again, I still got the same error code and now it said unable to extend temp segment by 1595. Then I tried disconnect to the database and then run the same query, unfortunately, I still got the same error code and now it is said unable to extend temp segment by 5120!

Our tablespace is 175 meg, and used up 82 meg. The roll-up segment is 30 meg. There are about 90,000 records in the fact table.

My questions are:

1. 1.How to deal with this error code?
2. 2.Why I still get the same error after the DBA increased the space?
3. 3.Why the unable to extend temp space become bigger and bigger after each

query?

I am new to Oracle, Please help. Any suggestion are welcome and appreciated! You can either reply this mail or send reply to mchen_at_netbasecomp.com. Thank you!
