Is there any way to alter temp tablespace into normal tablespace

Question

Even though It might be stupid question, i want to know the solution for that...
Is it possible to alter TEMP tablespace into Normal tablespace?
One more question, is it possible to create user with TEMP tablespace,
(I know the usage of temp tablespace also, and we cannot create user with temp tablespace.)
If some trick or any solution, share with me.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

1) Can you explain why you want such an unusual situation. By understanding your requirement, perhaps we can suggest alternatives
2) The requirements and restrictions are described in the CREATE USER command in the SQL Reference manual for whatever version you are using. (The stupid part of your question happens by not specifying any version range. <g>)
The requirement to use a TEMPORARY tablespace is documented and enforced in 9i. In 8i, we only required a tablespace to be named.
