Are you sure it's your db's temp segment in TEMP or a temporary segment in TAXDATA? When you run a CTAS the segment being built is listed as a temporary segment until the command completes, but storage throughout the process is in your destination tablespace. Also, with parallelism each PX slave creates it's own temporary segment that is merged in the end as the final table.

An xplan should make some of this more clearly seen.

Subject: High Temp Usage - need help to do findings

Hi All,
I am having the below query running on one of my prod instance and consuming 8GB of temp space and failing sometimes. Would you please help and suggest some approach to find why its consuming so much of TEMP usage?
 

CREATE TABLE /*+APPEND PARALLEL(8, 4) */ COOKINGS_W_264_c

 TABLESPACE taxdata        PARALLEL (DEGREE 8 INSTANCES 4)
  COMPRESS FOR ALL OPERATIONS        AS        SELECT /*+ APPEND
 PARALLEL(v, 8, 4)*/ v.*        FROM vw_COOKINGS_W v        WHER
E comparison_basis = 'Current'        AND  v.fiscal_month_key =
264
 

Thanks,
Ann
