Teresita, spelling the word "administrator" with the capital letter is a good thing. Furthermore, if you have version 9i, you can do the following, little known, thing:
SQL> alter database tempfile '/data/oradata/system/temp01.dbf' resize 128M;
Database altered.
If it's Oracle 8i, you can actually have a permanent, dictionary based tablespace acting as a temporary tablespace. In version 9, however, you
can't. Here is the query to find out what do you have:
1 select tablespace_name,contents,extent_management
2 from dba_tablespaces
3* order by contents
SQL> /
TABLESPACE_NAME CONTENTS EXTENT_MAN ------------------------------ --------- ---------- SYSTEM PERMANENT LOCAL DRSYS PERMANENT LOCAL EXAMPLE PERMANENT LOCAL INDX PERMANENT LOCAL USERS PERMANENT LOCAL XDB PERMANENT LOCAL TOOLS PERMANENT LOCAL TEMP TEMPORARY LOCAL UNDOTBS1 UNDO LOCAL
9 rows selected.
SQL>
If the column contents reads "TEMPORARY" for the given tablespace, you can
drop it and recreate it without any harm. Note that in 8i you don't have "UNDO" tablespaces and your system tablespace cannot be LMT.

Hi!!
I am trying to change the size of my tablespace TEMP, I am not an
Administrator but we really need to make this tablespace smaller.
Already the size is 13214 Mgs, and this tablaspace is on a disk that is full,
so if we can not make it smaller we are going to be in a serius trouble ( our
Administrator is not here until Monday).
