I don't understand why my Temporary tablespace is always 99% full even we
shut down the database for a UNIX tar backup on every 6:00 am.
Do I need to turn off the whole UNIX machine and then turn its power again
so that all the content of the Temporary tablespace will be cleared ?
If no, how can I clear all the content of a Temporary tablespace on an
Oracle 8i RDBMS ?
