Hi

Could someone tell me the diffrence between 'Temporary Tablespaces' and 'Tablespaces of Type Temporary'. Which should be used for temporary segments and how is space freed up in each. I use a 'Tablespace of Type Temporary' for temporary segments and the datafile keeps on growing.

Rgds.

Tablespace of type 'temporary' always gets reset at startup, meaning it will be of 0 bytes during startup. A user has a default tablespace and temporary tablespace. TEMP tablespace is used for sort and so on.

If your datafile keeps on growing, then you must have set the auto extend option. Disable it if needed.

TEMP tablespace needs to be of type 'temporary', so that after each startup, it starts fresh at 0 bytes.

Hope you got the picture.

Hi Sanjay,

Thanks for the reply.

I am already using a Temporary type tablespace and it is not shrinking on startups and also i cant restart the database again and again as it is a high availability database.

My question was that I am thinking of changing the tablespace from 'type temporary' to 'temporary tablespace' which is locally mananged instead of dictionary managed so what are the pros and cons in that.

Rgds.
Siddharth
