Hi, Oracle guru:
  I have created an index based on certain key in a table, and tried to run query sort by the field I defined in index, I got message ORA-001652 unable to extend temp segment by ### in tablespace SYSTEM
after browsing documentatin, I increase sort_area_size to 32000 (16382 by default), it still didn't solve the problem. Any body know what that message is all about? SYSTEM tablespace still has more 50% free. Thanks in advance.
