RE: Temporary tablespaces

 As long as you do not store perm objects in it, all is well.

Hi Steve,

Is there any disadvantage to using a tempfile tablespace for the TEMP tablespaces used by the application? Apart from the fact that they are non-recoverable. In the past I have created TEMP tablespaces with datafiles. I suppose the nature of the temp tablespace is that it contains temporary data and does not need to be recoverable.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Glen,

A tablespace created with the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE command uses tempfiles
instead of datafiles, and as such is often called a "tempfile tablespace". A
tempfile tablespace is equivalent to a locally managed datafile tablespace with
temporary contents, except that tempfiles do not participate in recovery in
anyway and thus do not need to be backed up.

I am interested to know what the difference between a tablespace that is

"created as temporary" and a "temporary tablespace" is?
