Hi,
This is what I use to clean up a temp tablespace. The tablespace is named 'temp' and it is normally set to PCTINCREASE of 10. You will need to insert the correct values for your temp tablespace. Altering the tablespace a little wakes us SMON which will clean things up if it can.
alter tablespace temp default storage(pctincrease 0);
alter tablespace temp default storage(pctincrease 10);
50Mb seems rather small for a temp tablespace.

Is their any way of identifying which user/process is holding onto a temporary segment. I've got a 50Mb temporary tablespace and there is a temporary segment which is 47Mb which is not being freed up by SMON.
And, if i can't identify who is holding onto this TEMP segment, is their a way in which I can delete it and stop the alert log being flooded with ORA-1652.
As I say the SMON is failing to clean up this TEMP segment and it's been on-going for a number of days and I don't have the option of bouncing the database.

TIA
