Hello,

I wanted to free up allocated_space in the following query.

select TABLESPACE_SIZE/1024/1024/1024, ALLOCATED_SPACE/1024/1024/1024,FREE_SPACE/1024/1024/1024 from DBA_TEMP_FREE_SPACE;

TABLESPACE_SIZE/1024/1024/1024 ALLOCATED_SPACE/1024/1024/1024 FREE_SPACE/1024/1024/1024

----------------------------- ------------------------------ -------------------------

102.867096 102.843658 51.4394531

As we can see that total size and alloacted size were quite high , so in order to free up allocated space I applied following command.

14:12:53 SQL> alter tablespace CUST_TEMP shrink space;

Tablespace altered.

14:17:32 SQL>

and now I have following

14:17:48 SQL> select TABLESPACE_NAME, TABLESPACE_SIZE/1024/1024/1024,ALLOCATED_SPACE/1024/1024/1024,FREE_SPACE/1024/1024/1024 from DBA_TEMP_FREE_SPACE;

TABLESPACE_NAME TABLESPACE_SIZE/1024/1024/1024 ALLOCATED_SPACE/1024/1024/1024 FREE_SPACE/1024/1024/1024
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------------------------
CUST_TEMP .023345947 .011627197 .01171875

14:18:15 SQL>

I am unable to understand what went wrong , what can now I do to increase the total space in temp tablespace to 102 GB.

Welcome to the forum - I hope you will both learn and contribute. Please read our OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read

You need to resize your temp file(s), run this to find out their names and sizes:

select file_name,bytes from dba_temp_files;

then resize it with

alter database tempfile 'whatever-it-is-called' resize 102M;

+DG_RECARC/custdir/cust_temp_3 | 2088960
+DG_RECARC/custdir/cust_temp_4 | 2088960

Can you please inform if I need to restart DB or instance etc after doing resize on lets say +DG_RECARC/custdir/cust_temp ?

Please read the forum guide, and always format your copy/paste with [code] tags, as I did.
As for whether you need to re-start the instance, think! Did you need to restart after shrinking the files?
