Roger,
The temporary segment you are seeing will become the index once the statement has been completed.
I suspect you are running out of space because you are running the operation in parallel. When you do this each parallel thread creates its own extents so if, for example, the initial extent of the index is 6Gb by specifying the degree of parallelism as 3 you automatically require 18Gb while the index is being built. Once the parallel slaves have completed these temporary index segments are then coalesced down to give an index of the same size (roughly) as would have been created by a single threaded process.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Ian

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P001
ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 89595 in tablespace
PSAPREROGI
I got ORA-01652 while rebuilding the 14 GB index to a new tablespace and
the tablespace
has 16 GB free space. Before the error occurred, the 31 GB temp tablespace had 13.5 GB
used.
Any idea why it created temp segments in the target tablespace?
How big the target tablespace would be? I thought 16 GB is enough.
Thanks,
Roger
