I have done a couple of 8.1.6 installs on NT workstations with no problems. What version are you running on and what patch level are you at? Also, are you putting the 8.1.6 install into its own Oracle Home? It cannot share with previous releases (well maybe 8.1.5 but I am not sure on that one).

I am facing the same problem. Oracle support advised me to clean the registry and delete all oracle related files but that did not help either. Please let me know if you find a solution.

Thanks

Hmm, SMON only wakes up to clean up temp segments every 5 minutes.  How long
after the SQL doing the sort was killed were you having the problems before
you did the ALTER TABLESPACE command?

I think I understand what you are saying.
But....................
My situation was that the extents were not being "released".
That is, the space was unavailable for other transactions to use.
We were failing with space errors.

Also, we do have the tablespace defined as TEMPORARY.

Thanks.

If the tablespace is of type temporary then the extents do not get
released.
They remain allocated (but unused)once the initial sort is done.  This is a
good thing, as it reduces the processing necessary for extent allocation.

Looking for some information on the following:

We had an incident last week where an Oracle instance (7.3.4.4) on NT
was running into problems acquiring space for additional extents on
the defined temporary tablespace.

While looking at the situation, we discovered that there was just about
zero
free space left in the tablespace.  There was a whole bunch of extents
created and owned by "SYS" and they had some flaky numeric
identifier for the segment-name (something like  37.123).

Other processes were failing, being unable to allocate temp space.

We looked around on Metalink, and discovered a note about
forcing temporary segments/extents to be cleaned up by
performing an "ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP DEFAULT STORAGE (PCTINCREASE 0);"

We executed the statement.  Lo and behold, all the segments disappeared,
back into
free space.

My guess is that there was a large sort (we do some of those) that failed,
and left segments out there.  I do not understand why they wouldn't clean
up.

Any information?
