Under Oracle 9, is there a guarantee of at least 1 temp TS ?

My company has an installation script for our product that creates a user and assigns that user's temp AND default tablespace to point to the same tablespace (typically not an actual TEMPORARY tablespace). Now under Oracle 9 the TEMP tablespace MUST be a real TEMPORARY tablespace. If you just create a user without specifying DEFAULT and TEMPORARY tablespace, Oracle will pick a temp tablespace, seemingly at random. I don't have the freedom to delete all temp tablespaces to test my theory, so that's why I am asking:

  1. Is there any guarantee that there will be at least 1 temp TS under Oracle 9 ? (Not that I am aware of)
  2. What would happen with a create user statement with no TEMP TS clause, if there are no temp TSs in the instance ? Would it use SYSTEM ? Error out ?
