Hi!

Working on Oracle v8i with OS as NT!

I have this problem:

The DB constains around 2 GB of data but the Temp segment consisting of temp01.dbf file
has shot up to 4 GB.This DB was created with default temp segment size and after that
import was done on this newly created DB with 2 GB of data.

Suddenly, the Temp segment consisting of temp01.dbf file has shot up to 4 GB.

Now i am left with only 15 MB of space in D drive where Oracle is stored.Other drives are not
having much space left either.

Size of Oradata folder is 6 GB. I need to resize the temp segment to around 500 MB.I hope
that this size would work with no problems for 2 GB data and that not much sorting would
be done on this temp size!I hope I am correct!

Moreover,I canot resize the temp file to 500 MB as Oracle throws up this error message:
used size is beyond the resize file size.I believe I have to drop the existing temp file of
4 GB and recreate a new temp file of 500 MB with the following command :

ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP
DATAFILE 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\PVPL\TEMP01.DBF' SIZE 500M
AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1M;

Is this command Ok for the temp segment and would the DB work if I drop and recreate a new
temp segment as above!Pleae advise!


Please correct me I am wrong!

Regards,

Amit.
