    I am creating a table using a Select Statment. I get an error saying "Unable to extend segments 64 for the tabllespace TEMP"

    When i see the free space in the Temp Tablespace from the SQL Navigator, it shows as 224k whereas the our Administrator says that it's about 2 Gig in size.

    Last friday, it showed me the free space in Temp Tablespace as 100 Meg and after running the statment, it now shows me as only 224k.

    Does'nt Oracle free up the Temp table space after its usage or we have to use any external command to free the used space.

    I am using Oracle 8.1.7.0.

    Your suggesstions most welcome.

    Sometimes Oracle performs some sorting in the temp ts. This makes the ts look in use all the time. It's a good idea to set Autoextend On for the temp ts, so that queries dont fail. Bouncing the db will free up the space used by Oracle's sorting in the temp ts.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I have the AutoExtend ON on Temp TS, but still i get the following error when i create a table using the select statment. Select statment returns around 1/2 million records.

    Error:
    ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 64 in tablespace TEMP

    I am herewith putting down the Statment I am using for creation of the Table:

    CREATE Table TEST
    PCTFREE 10
    PCTUSED 40
    INITRANS 1
    MAXTRANS 255
    TABLESPACE MART_DATA01
    STORAGE (
    INITIAL 131072
    NEXT 131072
    PCTINCREASE 0
    MINEXTENTS 1
    MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED
    )
    as
    Select Statment..........................................................

    Am I using anything wrong in the above statment.

    I have had these troubles too, It seems like Oracle can't reuse (sometimes) the temporary space.
    I have read Oracle don't waste its time freeing extents from temporary tablespaces, but they have to get better their implementation.

    Please put the select statement because your problem is on TEMP tablespace then it's because sorting/grouping, the temporary segments that will be the TABLE are actually in the tablespace the TABLE will be on.
    The only way I have been able to free space on TEMP has been bouncing the instance (shutdown/startup)

    1) Temporarily, add another datafile.

    2) Later,

    a) Drop the temporary tablespace
    Create temporary tablespace
    1) Dictionary managed , specify temporary keyword and make initial extent a big one may be 1GB.

    2) Locally managed temporary tablespace.

    b) Fine tune your query, increase sort_area_size ( need to verify whether sorting is causing any Disk level i/o).

    c) Why are you not using view.


    You must have some way (disabling monitoring/remove node ) to bring Database in maintainenc mode

    Take Care

    Hi,
    Just another suggestion. It is better to have two equally sized temporary tablespaces in some situations, so that when one gets highly fragmented, it can be recreated while the second one stays online.
    Coming back to the present situation, check up the fragmentation, and if that is the culprit then create another temporary tablespace of required size, assign the users to this,and then drop/recreate the earlier as per your requirement.
