Simon - I think Tim has given you a good answer to your TEMP tablespace growth. I just wanted to warn you to be cautious about extremely large sizes of SORT_AREA_SIZE. This is a per-process setting, which means that if you have several processes, each process may acquire a lot of memory and the overall system memory may be overallocated. I speak from experience, bad experience. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My temp tablespace is growing abnormally -from 3GB -> 32 GB (Filled up disk). DB is 81700 on Tru64 Unix, 120GB in size, appx 150 front-End users running billing application for appx 200,000 customer base. Initially set-up as OPS but undone though init.ora file still has PARALEL_SERVER=TRUE, only one node is active. I've seen a refernce to OPS in relation to de-allocation of extents but can't get further. Any help will be appreciated. --- CSW -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Simon Waibale INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
