RE: Temp tablespace

Hi,

I found a book which went a little deeper on the TEMP tablespace in Oracle 7.3.
The book says that the first sort to use the temp tablespace allocates a temporary segment within the temp tablespace, and when the query completes, the space used by the temporary segment is not dropped. Instead, the space used by the temporary segment is available for use by other queries. This avoids the cost of allocating and releasing space for temporary segments. So a temp tablespace can fill up to 100% and stay that way, even if no one is using sorts.
You can not see who or what is using the TEMP tablespace, only what amount of space is being used.
The book i found this in is the Oracle DBA Handbook 7.3 edition from Oracle Press by Kevin Loney.

As you can see, it all comes down to RTFM. Next time i will read first and then ask...
