Hi there!

I'm experiencing strange errors on our production database in the middle of the night. From the alert log file:

Mon Apr 09 03:41:33 2001
ORA-1652: unable to extend temp segment by 64 in tablespace TEMP

The deal is that nobody is accessing our system at 3:40 am! No jobs are scheduled for that time. Basically there shouldn't anything go on on the server.

Is there a way that I can find out what causes this error? What user / statement is generating so much temporary data?

Is there a way to coalesce the TEMP tablespace so that orphan temp segments get deleted and the usage of the TEMP tablespace isn't always up to 99%?

This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.

Thanks,
Helmut
