RE: Waking SMON Not Doing Trick

Thanks. This did the trick and now I won't get paged every couple of hours during the rebuild process.

I think this little gem is what you are looking for. Listers, correct me if I am wrong about what this event does. Thanks to K. Gopalkrishnan for reminding me of it.

alter session set events 'immediate trace name drop_segments level ts#+1';

You get the ts# from sys.ts$:
select ts#, name from sys.ts$

so for ts# = 6, you would use:

alter session set events 'immediate trace name drop_segments level 7';

I think this event cleans up temporary segments like SMON does, but right away, without waiting.

Anyway, it should be easy to test. I know it is non-destructive to permanent segments.
