RE: TEMP tablespace growing abnormally -Sort Area

I think you meant 8MB not 8GB, right?

Take a look at v$sort_usage and find these sessions that are filling the TEMP TS.
>From there find the sql behind this temp space and try to figure out if it's
normal to allocate this space or there is a CARTESIAN join for example that is giving you this problem.

It's not weired to fill a 32 GB temp TS in a data warehouse application.

Waleed

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.
