Simon, You only use the TEMP tablespace when performing a GROUP BY or a sort.
In your case, this will not be happening to the SYS account during the drop and recreate of the tablespace. PS - change your drop tablespace command to: SQL>DROP tablespace TEMP 3>and DATAFILES; There are no contents to drop - its a temporary space. Also, consider using Locally Managed TBS for the TEMP space - it will make your life much more pleasant. You will not need to do this again. Balance (or match) the extent size of the TBS with the SORT_AREA_SIZE init parameter so that everything is used efficiently. Hope this helps.

My worries: 1)If I connect as sysdba, what TEMP talespace will sysdba's session be using given that a select from dba_users shows SYS & SYSTEM users having TEMP as their TEMPORARY tablespace. Won't the dropping of TEMP leave sysdba in suspense over which TEMP to use ? Or as long as no sort operations, no need for TEMP ? Waiting for your comments before: SQL>DROP tablespace TEMP 2>INCLUDING CONTENTS 3>and DATAFILES; SQL> CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP > ................................; ____ 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).
