Hey Peter,
Can you post the queries and output you are using? The following indicates behaviour contrary to that which you describe:
sys_at_ora817> create global temporary table gftmp (a number);
Table created.
sys_at_ora817> select tablespace_name from dba_tables where table_name =
'GFTMP';
TABLESPACE_NAME
1 row selected.
sys_at_ora817> select count(*) from dba_segments where segment_name = 'GFTMP';
COUNT(*)
0
1 row selected.
sys_at_ora817> insert into gftmp values (1);
1 row created.
sys_at_ora817> select tablespace_name from dba_tables where table_name =
'GFTMP';
TABLESPACE_NAME
1 row selected.
sys_at_ora817> select count(*) from dba_segments where segment_name = 'GFTMP';
COUNT(*)
0
1 row selected.
sys_at_ora817> select * from v$sort_usage ;
USER SESSION_ SESSION_NUM SQLADDR SQLHASH TABLESPACE CONTENTS SEGTYPE SEGFILE# SEGBLK#EXTENTS BLOCKS SEGRFNO#

Subject: Global Temporary Table Mystery
We have an application using Global Temporary Tables. The other day I was checking performance questions and noticed a number of this application's tables were in the SYSTEM tablespace.
After consulting with the developer I made arrangements to export and import them into the correct tablespace. It now turns out that these are GTTs. I checked the table names in dba_segments and no space is currently allocated to these tables.
According to Tom Kyte:
When you create a temporary table -- it will not use
ANY tablespace. It will
use the TEMPORARY tablespace of the current schema
when accessed at runtime.
When you create a temp table -- no space allocated.
when you insert into temp
table, the space will be gotten from your temporary
tablespace (or if the
temporary table is used in a stored procedure with
definer rights - the
temporary tablespace of the owner of the table)
This is clearly not what happened. I have found other references that say the same thing. The temporary tablespace for the application in question is TEMP. It is a 40G tablespace that usually has a few gig free.
Any ideas as to why these GTTs may be using SYSTEM? It is an Oracle 8.1.7.3 database. The application was written in Oracle Forms.
