Hmmm...that's a possibility. However, the query is blowing out a 2GB temp space that is empty when the query starts. I'll check and play with this field anyway.
Thanks, Mike -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, August 19, 2002 4:18 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L The order by is dong a sort and you have insufficient sort space configured so it is doing it to disk and that is the temp tablespace or whatever is allocated as the users temporary tablespace. I suspect that this database has the smallest SGA for any of the databases you have tested. You might like to investigate the SORT_AREA_SIZE parameter or maybe just look at increasing the available memory to the instance.
