Hi Connie,
Because there isn't anything stored in there (a segment) permanently. But when I look at my db (well, my horsing-around-and-breaking-stuff db) I see this. My temp tablespace is not permanent.
1 select segment_name from dba_segments
2* where segment_Type = 'TEMPORARY'
(VIKING-SYSTEM)>/
SEGMENT_NAME
--------------------------------------------------
4.13234
What on earth is that? Seems useless to me. If I want to know what's going on in temp, I look at dba_tablespaces and dba_free_space. Correct me if I'm wrong...
Why did you clear out your temp?

Subject: TEMP Tablespace
TEMP tablespace is not listed when I query dba_segments. However, it
does show up in OEM and
through OEM it does appear to be online. Yesterday, I briefly took the
TEMP tablespace offline and then back online again to make sure it was
completely cleared out (did not appear to be any active sessions in the
database at the time). Have also bounced the database. Any ideas on
why it still would not be showing up when querying dba_segments?
