Hi Seema, Your file is growing because you have set AUTOEXTEND ON. When you shut the instance down, Oracle will release the temp segments, but not actually reduce the file size. You can try shrinking the file (preferably after bouncing the instance) if possible, or you can add a new temp tablespace, make it the users' default temp space, and drop the original one (after checking, of course, that its not being used - see v$sort_segment, v$sort_usage).
HTH, Mandar. -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 4:18 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi I created temporary tablespace by following command create tablespace TEMP datafile '/xxx/yyy/temp01.dbf' size 800M autoextend on next 2m default storage (initial 1024K next 1024K minextents 1 maxextents 2147483645 pctincrease 0) temporary online / Is this correct? I am looking that it is filling the disk partitions. is temp tablespace will release the space once i shutdown the database? I am thinking i used to use create temporary tablespace temp tempfile 'filename' size would be good syntax? if i offline this tablespace and create another temporary tablespace and ssign that tablespace to users which are using earlier?What will beimpact? tHx -Seema _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Seema Singh INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
