Hi,
  I am using a global temp table in my application and doing a sort on that. Generally the temp table size is small (within 100 rows) but in really exceptional once in a month cases it can go up to thousands. This is causing problems and before I can reduce it I am trying to understand how it can affect the database. 1) Where does the temp table and sort info get stored in memory. 2) I have reduced sort_area_size to reduce the PGA requirement allcation. Is that the right course of action.  

Thanks for your help.
