RE: Default tablespace for temp segments..

I'm interpreting the sentence "I do have a temporary tablespace assigned which has a 300 Meg available when I ran the script" to mean that Ravi has assigned separate and distinct "default" and "temporary" tablespaces. I have observed this same behavior and am curious too.

Allow me to clarify that in my case, there is a user with default tablespace "USER_TBL" and temporary tablespace "TEMP". This user also has unlimited quota on "USER_TBL", "USER_IDX", and "TEMP". I will on occasion see an ORA-1630 error in my "alert_<OracleSID>.log" file indicating a temp segment in the "USER_IDX" tablespace ran out of extents. I might be able to explain this away if it happened while I was creating an index in the "USER_IDX" tablespace, but that's not happening when this error occurs.

Ravi, does this also reflect what you are observing?

Mike.

Default tablespace can be used for sorting only if it has been defined as temporary tablespace instead of your temp tablespace for that particular user in which you are working.
Otherwise if you don't specify any temporary tablespace for that particular user,than it takes system tablespace as temporary tablespace.

Hi List,

I am doing some DDL operations with some sorting
(create as select * from...) in the database using
tables which are large(200 Meg+).
 I am surprised to see Oracle is using the default tablespace(it already has some objects) to allocate the temporary segments for sorting and failed to execute the script as it ran out of extents. Later we increased the extent size on the default tablespace and finished it. I could see this by querying the dba_segments as these temporary segments were kept for a while before SMON cleaned them.

It was doing fine before.

I would like to know, under what circumstances oracle uses the default tablespace as the temporary tablespace? I do have a temporary tablespace assigned which has a 300 Meg available when I ran the script. I am running Orcl ver:7.3.2 on Sun solaris 2.5. Thanks In Advance
Ravi
