I just tried a cartesian product/sort and the TEMP tablespace, which is set up as temporary and using a tempfile was able to autoextend. Of course, the next step is to set up a TEMP tablespace as temporary using a datafile, then permanent and see what happens...volunteers?
In regards to the issue of not autoextending in the event of a statement failure. If this were the case, then almost no autoextension would occur. If I insert 10 million rows into a table, causing the datafile to autoextend, I could issue a rollback and not 'save' the rows. However, the table would still have allocated the additional space (and the HWM would be WAY out there...).
