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...

ERROR at line 5:
ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 256 in tablespace TEMP

...error.  Then I try to find out what's going on with...

SQL> select * from v$temp_space_header;

1 row selected.

SQL>  select * from v$sort_usage;

no rows selected

SQL> 

...and it looks like a sort segment that is in use, but nobody's
claiming it.  The V$TEMP_EXTENT_POOL shows blocks as cached but
not used.

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!

And Thanx,
Mike
