RE: temporary tablespace not emptied , how to?

[SARKAR, Samir]

Maya,

 

Check whether ur TEMP tablespace is of the type Temporary by issuing the following query :

 

 select tablespace_name, status, contents from dba_tablespaces where

tablespace_name = 'TEMP' ;

 

 If the TEMP tablespace is of type Permanent, the cleanup is performed by SMON after the process

using it has been completed. If it is of type Temporary, it should get emptied when the instance is

shut down and restarted.

 

You can check from v$sort_segment to see how many of the sort segments r currently using the

Temporary tablespace.

 

Hope this helps.

Subject: temporary tablespace not emptied , how to?

Hello,

 

My "TEMP" temporary tablespace does not get emptied , I thought rebooting would drop all the temporary objects stored in it but it does not, any idea why and how to empty it ?

Alternative question:

- is there a way to know which objects are in the TEMP tablespace

- does oracle do redo logs when working in temporary segments ?

 

Thanks, Maya
