RE: temp tablespace colesce

If you meant shrink the amount used within the temp tablespace, you could try this. Our temp tablespaces are set at 10 percent normally. Altering it to 0 percent then immediately back to 10 percent usually cleans it up.

alter tablespace temp default storage(pctincrease 0);

alter tablespace temp default storage(pctincrease 10);

For the most part, I don't do this unless some runaway process or SQL filled the temp tablespace. Had a developer fill up a 2GB temp tablespace in a development DB just yesterday. Left me a nice ORA-1652: unable to extend temp segment by 750 in tablespace TEMP in the alert log!
