Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> drop temp tablespace
Hi List,
Our TEMP tablespace took Oracle default setting that was auto extending up to 32 GB. Last week the tablespace had grown to 18 GB. I tried to drop the tablespace after I removed any body's temporary tablespace to a newly created temp tablespace with much smaller size. The dropping process is very slow. I started last Friday. The used size in the old temp tablespace had been decreased from 18 GB to 3.8 GB yesterday afternoon. I issued the drop command through TOAD job scheduler. There was one failure with the job when I checked this morning. The dropping process seemed stopped. I had to kill the job. Now the used size in the old temp tablespace is coming back slowly even through I issued another dropping command in SQLPLUS. I was wondering if any one has any way to drop the temp tablespace quickly. Thanks in advance.
