Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: TEMP tablespace growing abnormally -Sort Area
Simon - I think Tim has given you a good answer to your TEMP tablespace
growth. I just wanted to warn you to be cautious about extremely large sizes
of SORT_AREA_SIZE. This is a per-process setting, which means that if you
have several processes, each process may acquire a lot of memory and the
overall system memory may be overallocated. I speak from experience, bad
experience.

Hi all,
Having a bad start of week.
My temp tablespace is growing abnormally -from 3GB -> 32 GB (Filled up
disk).
DB is 81700 on Tru64 Unix, 120GB in size, appx 150 front-End users running
billing application for appx 200,000 customer base.
Initially set-up as OPS but undone though init.ora file still has
PARALEL_SERVER=TRUE, only one node is active.
I've seen a refernce to OPS in relation to de-allocation of extents but
can't
get further.
Any help will be appreciated.
