Hello,

it is acknowledged that v$temp_space_header.blocks_free mean ONLY that the blocks have 'never ever been used'

Can someone confirm if
  v$temp_extent_pool.blocks_cached
is the 'real number of blocks available for sorting'?

How do we confirm this?

Observations

  v$temp_space_header.blocks_used +
v$temp_space_header.blocks_free = v$tempfile.blocks

However,

v$temp_extent_pool.blocks_cached !=
v$temp_space_header.blocks_used

Waiting for your responses on this
