From what I've heard, temporary tablespaces based on temporary files locally managed have the following behavior..
They don't de-allocate extents necessarily, otherwise there would be overhead in using them again, (just a bitmap after all) (I am using 8.1.7 on AIX 4.3.3) So questions: 1) How do I see these allocated extents? dba_free_space isn't much help. dba_extents doesn't seem to be any help either. Neither does dba_segments. I already know I can see things in action with v$sortsegment etc., but I was under the impression that I once a temp extent was allocated (24x7 system).. it stayed that way. How can I see these? I'm curious for a high water mark (after a Discoverer install).. Of course, maybe smon really does clear them up at some point and they are all gone as I am looking at these views.
