Unable to extend temp segment.

Hi,
When I do a analuze compute statistics Oracle gives me unable to extend temporary segment.

SQL> analyze table test compute statistics;
analyze table test compute statistics
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 27309 in tablespace TEMPORARY_DATA


But when I see the statistics from enterprise manager it shows that the size of the tablespace is 102 MB and used is 0.002 MB. If it hasnt reached its maximum limit why is it giving me unable to extend error.

I also queried to confirm the results of enterpise manager. Below is the output of the query.

select
2 b.file_id "file#",
3 b.tablespace_name "Tablespace name",
4 b.bytes "#Bytes",
5 (b.bytes-sum(nvl(a.bytes,0)))"#used",
6 sum(nvl(a.bytes,0))"#free",
7 (sum(nvl(a.bytes,0))/(b.bytes))*100"%Free"
8 from sys.dba_free_space a,sys.dba_data_files b
9 where a.file_id(+)=b.file_id
10 group by b.tablespace_name ,b.file_id,b.bytes
11 order by b.tablespace_name;

file# Tablespace name #Bytes #used #free %Free
--------- ------------------------------ --------- --------- --------- ---------
7 REC_DATA 104857600 1036288 103821312 99.011719

4 TEMPORARY_DATA 112197632 2048 112195584 99.998175

2 USER_DATA 3145728 1753088 1392640 44.270833

Please suggest.

Hi

do you have a temporary tablespace assigned to your user? check your user temp table space

sorry , whant i ment to say is check you user temp table space, it may not be the temp you think it is.

I checked it.

The default tablespace is users and the pemporary tablespace is temporary_data.

Thanks

Check the size for the next extent in the storage parameters for the temporary tblspace. This error also occurs if the next extent is too small.

Hi,
These are the storage parameters for the temporary Tablespace.

Initial Extent : 10KB
Next Extent: 10KB
pct Increase: 50 %
Maximum Extents 121

The table which I am trying to analyze here has more than 6 million records.

Thanks
Anurag

Whoa!! Initial and next are too small. Increase them to atleast 1M each. (Extent allocation is CPU intensive). Increase the size of the ts.

Hi Halo,

Is it ok to have pctincrease set to 50% for a temorary tablepsace.

Thanks
Anurag

pctincrease shold be 0 in TEMP tablespace so you ensure that initial = next, inital and next should be multiple of sort_area_size to improve I/O

anyway instead of check free space with OEM try this query

select sum(bytes) from dba_free_space where tablespace_name='TEMPORARY_DATA'

I wouldn't quite do that.
