Yeah, that's more along the lines of what I was thinking.

Yes.  I'd definitely like to see an ALTER TABLESPACE option, with an
ERROR that lists out all of the non-temporary objects which are found
(and lists any other databases which have objects in those
tablespaces..).  That would allow administrators who have existing
notionally temporary-only tablespaces to go clean things up to make them
actually temporary-only.

        Thanks,

                Stephen
