Hi Everyone: I have an 8.1.7.3 database running on Win2k. I created the TEMP tablespace as locally managed and temporary. When I run a query that needs sort space I get a...

I do not understand what's going on. Can somebody give me a hint or a place to look in the docs to figure this out? Do I needs to add more TEMP space? Can I un-cache the unused space? Help!
