This is saying that Oracle is trying to use the TEMP tablespace
for some, temporary work, but it can't gain control of anymore

This is the part of the SQL where Oracle needs temp space for.
It writes the results of the select to a temporary work area so
that it can then sort it.

Your solution is found in the action part of the documentation on
the error.
