    Two Temp Tablespaces

    Dear All,

    I am in a strange problem:

    I have created two Temporary Tablespaces for my instance.

    Now, one of them is default temporary tablespace at one point of time.

    After i shutdown and startup the instance the space inside the temporary tablespace which is the default one is not freed up.

    What can be the possible reason(s)?

    What you are seeing is temp tablespace HWM, it doesn't mean all that space is in use. Sometimes SMON has other priorities and temp space clean up could take forever.
    To check how much temp space you are actually using you can query v_$sort_usage where contents='TEMPORARY'
