Hello, it is acknowledged that v$temp_space_header.blocks_free mean ONLY that the blocks have 'never ever been used'
Can someone confirm if v$temp_extent_pool.blocks_cached is the 'real number of blocks available for sorting'? How do we confirm this? Observations v$temp_space_header.blocks_used + v$temp_space_header.blocks_free = v$tempfile.blocks However, v$temp_extent_pool.blocks_cached != v$temp_space_header.blocks_used Waiting for your responses on this -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Cyril Thankappan INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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).
