Re: TEMP Tablespace problem

[Teresita Castro]

I have Oracle 9.2i I already run the query and the tablespace TEMP have CONTENTS=TEMPORARY AND EXTENT_MAN=LOCAL Can I run this line to fix the size of my tablespace?   SQL> alter database tempfile '/data/oradata/system/temp01.dbf' resize 128M;   I mean is the same or I have to change something? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/30/03 10:04PM >>> Teresita, spelling the word "administrator" with the capital letter is a good  thing. Furthermore, if you have version 9i, you can do the following, little known, thing: SQL> alter database tempfile '/data/oradata/system/temp01.dbf' resize 128M; Database altered. If it's Oracle 8i, you can actually have a permanent, dictionary based  tablespace acting as a temporary tablespace. In version 9, however, you can't. Here is the query to find out what do you have:   1  select tablespace_name,contents,extent_management   2  from dba_tablespaces   3* order by contents SQL> / TABLESPACE_NAME                CONTENTS  EXTENT_MAN ------------------------------ --------- ---------- SYSTEM                         PERMANENT LOCAL DRSYS                          PERMANENT LOCAL EXAMPLE                        PERMANENT LOCAL INDX                           PERMANENT LOCAL USERS                          PERMANENT LOCAL XDB                            PERMANENT LOCAL TOOLS                          PERMANENT LOCAL TEMP                           TEMPORARY LOCAL UNDOTBS1                       UNDO      LOCAL 9 rows selected. SQL> If the column contents reads "TEMPORARY" for the given tablespace, you can drop it and recreate it without any harm. Note that in 8i you don't have  "UNDO" tablespaces and your system tablespace cannot be LMT.
