ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace TEMP

[pascal01]

Hi. I am a running a "create index" command on a table of 4M rows. My temporary tablespace is called "PMO_TEMP" which has a size of 2G.

I am getting the following error.
"ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace TEMP"

My temporary tablespace for this user is "PMO_TEMP".

Why is the error referring to the "TEMP" tablespace when my default temporary tablespace is PMO_TEMP?

Thanks,

What user are you running the create index as? Presumbly you have checked dba_users for the default temporary tablespace for the right user?

Hi.
The user is called "PMO" which has a default temporary tablespace called "PMO_TEMP". The user "PMO" is running the create index. Why is the error telling me its running out of space in "TEMP" tablespace? Very strange ?
Thanks.
