Size of temporary tablespace

Hi All ,
I try to create a temporary tablespace
1 create temporary tablespace test1
2 tempfile 'F:\datafile\test1.bdf'
3* size 500k
4 /
create temporary tablespace test1
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03214: File Size specified is smaller than minimum required
How would we calculate the minimum size required to create a temporary tablespace ?

Hi,
You can test it by providing different sizes.
1 create temporary tablespace test1
2 tempfile 'F:\datafile\test1.bdf'
3* size 1024k
4 /
create temporary tablespace test1
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03214: File Size specified is smaller than minimum required.
1 create temporary tablespace test1
2 tempfile 'F:\datafile\test1.bdf'
3* size 1050k
4 /
Tablespace created.
So that means file size should be greater than 1024K.

How to reduce the size of Temporary Tablespace - URGENT

Hi all,
I need your help urgently. I have one Default Temporary Tablespace TEMP in my Oracle 9i database. There are two files in the tablespace each of size 32GB. I need to reduce the size or if possible i need to remove on datafile from the tablespace.
Could you please provide me with the solution of this?
This is really very urgent.
Thanks in advance
Himanshu

Add a new temporary tablespace.
Set this to default database temp tablespace.
Then you can drop the old TS when all the pending transactions are complete if they are using temp space.
Also, you need to investigate as to why your temp tablespace files were 32 GB in size. Looks like your application is doing too much sorting.

Temporary Tablespace Issues

Hi,
Temporary tablespace is getting full used.
Temp Tablespace details:
Size=110GB
I need to find out that how we can estimate actual size of Temporary tablespace.
Could you please guide me for the same.
Also PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET is defined as size of 7GB.
Thanks,

If you facing the size issue then create another temporary tablespace (lets call it TEMP2).
The next step would be to remove the temporary tablespace you want to resize from being the default temporary tablespace by making TEMP2 the default. perform these activities in off time .
Hope this may help you :)

Size for TEMP tablespace

I don't know if this is a "valid" question. We have users running reports on our production system. The sometimes complain about the temp space being too small (due to their queries crashing when using too much temp space).
But I also have a feeling that you can keep throwing disks at TEMP space, and that it will never be enough.
What should the size of a database's TEMP space be - is there a rule of thumb for this ?
Dirk

There are several considerations that you should take into account when you try to size your temporary tablespace:
First, how much sort does you average transaction need and how many concurrent transactions does your system need to support. This number gives you a starting point for the minimum workable size for normal operations.
Now, how big is the largest table on your system and do you wish to be able to support select * from biggest order by ? Supporting an unqualified select on your largest table may not be required.
How big is the largest index in your system? It is likely that you need to have enough temp space available to recreate this index in the event of corruption without having to take special action to allocate more space to temp on a temporary basis. But having to add space in the event of a diaster might be acceptable.
Figure out what the largest sort operation you need to be able to support is and then add enough space to handle the number of concurrent average transactions that would be expected to be on the system at the same time. This is the size you should use for your temporary tablespace.
It is better to have all the space you will need for any normal and for any maintenance operation available at all time rather than trying to find additional file space to support special maintenance tasks or diaster recovery operations.

Amount of temporary tablespace size used for index rebuild

Hi All,
I want to know approximate amount of temporary tablespace size used for index rebuild. I need this information to avoid the insufficient temporary tablespace error during the huge index rebuild.
Is there a query or procedure to find it out.
Thank you.

Hi,
While creating the index, the temporary segment is created in the permanent tablespace. So permanent tablespace must have sufficient space.

Temporary tablespace size

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding temporary tablespace. Oracle 9.2.0.5
When I create the default tablespace temp I see it growing and growing during some days until it reaches the maximum size and then it give the error ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace TEMP
but monitoring the v$sort_segment I see one or 2 users logged and using the temp.
So my doubt is: what I have to do to find the BEST size for my temp tablespace. which queries is the recomended one to see the temp segments being used ?
Thank you

See http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/tspaces.htm#9566
To improve the concurrence of multiple sort operations, reduce their overhead, or avoid Oracle space management operations altogether, create temporary tablespaces. A temporary tablespace can be shared by multiple users and can be assigned to users with the CREATE USER statement when you create users in the database.
Within a temporary tablespace, all sort operations for a given instance and tablespace share a single sort segment. Sort segments exist for every instance that performs sort operations within a given tablespace. The sort segment is created by the first statement that uses a temporary tablespace for sorting, after startup, and is released only at shutdown. An extent cannot be shared by multiple transactions.
You can view the allocation and deallocation of space in a temporary tablespace sort segment using the V$SORT_SEGMENT view. The V$TEMPSEG_USAGE view identifies the current sort users in those segments.

You should be more concerned of what's being used in temporary tablespace. As Oracle will reuse temp segment, free space in temp tablespace is not a good indicator.

INCLUDED_IN_DATABASE_BACKUP for temporary tablespace

Hi,
The query output from v$tablespace shows the INCLUDED_IN_DATABASE_BACKUP value for temp tablespace in my db is "YES". The only way to have the value "NO" is to configure rman to exclude tbs. But you can not exclude temporary tablespace. Based on the size of total full backup files, the temp tablespace does not seem to be backup by rman. Is this a bug or is there other way to set this value for temporary tablespace to "NO"? I'm using 9iR2. Thanks.

>...The only way to have the value "NO" is to configure rman to exclude tbs. But you can not exclude temporary tablespace.
RMAN doesn't include the temporary tablespace in the backups.

See, before attempting a sort, you must add a new tempfile datafile to
the tablespace, for example: this migh work for you :-
alter tablespace temp_ro add tempfile
'/spare/sme81/oradata/jb/temp_ro.dbf' size 10m;

Shrinking a Locally Managed Temporary Tablespace

So, even thoguh the documentation is pretty clear about how to use this feature, I cannot get it to do what I expect it to do for me.
And that would be shrinking the tempfile ;)
Now lets face it, I have a large tempfile and want to resize it without restarting the database:

+"Shrinking a Locally Managed Temporary Tablespace+
+Large sort operations performed by the database may result in a temporary tablespace growing and occupying a considerable amount of disk space. After the sort operation completes, the extra space is not released; it is just marked as free and available for reuse. Therefore, a single large sort operation might result in a large amount of allocated temporary space that remains unused after the sort operation is complete. For this reason, the database enables you to shrink locally managed temporary tablespaces and release unused space.+
+You use the SHRINK SPACE clause of the ALTER TABLESPACE statement to shrink a temporary tablespace, or the SHRINK TEMPFILE clause of the ALTER TABLESPACE statement to shrink a specific tempfile of a temporary tablespace. Shrinking frees as much space as possible while maintaining the other attributes of the tablespace or tempfile. The optional KEEP clause defines a minimum size for the tablespace or tempfile.+
+Shrinking is an online operation, which means that user sessions can continue to allocate sort extents if needed, and already-running queries are not affected.+
+The following example shrinks the locally managed temporary tablespace lmtmp1 to a size of 20M.+
+ALTER TABLESPACE lmtemp1 SHRINK SPACE KEEP 20M;+
+The following example shrinks the tempfile lmtemp02.dbf of the locally managed temporary tablespace lmtmp2. Because the KEEP clause is omitted, the database attempts to shrink the tempfile to the minimum possible size.+
+ALTER TABLESPACE lmtemp2 SHRINK TEMPFILE '/u02/oracle/data/lmtemp02.dbf';"+
OK, lets do it:
SQL> alter tablespace temp shrink tempfile 'R:\MXVC01\TEMP01.DBF';
alter tablespace temp shrink tempfile 'R:\MXVC01\TEMP01.DBF'
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03214: File Size specified is smaller than minimum required
It seems there is a bug? Should I report it, or is it the expected behaviour?
Now lets try this one:
SQL> alter tablespace temp shrink tempfile 'R:\MXVC01\TEMP01.DBF' keep 2048M;
Tablespace altered.
SQL> select file_name
, ceil(bytes / 1024 / 1024) "size MB"
from dba_temp_files
FILE_NAME size MB
R:\MXVC01\TEMP01.DBF 31,231
So .... this lasts about *10 minutes*, and nothing changes?
It seems there is a bug? Should I report it, or is it the expected behaviour?
Could someone enlighten me, what this SHRINK is actually doing?
Is it worth to report this as bug, if not a software bug it is at least a documentation bug because it doesn't mention under which conditions it is working?
P.S.: OMG the posting looks terrible, who's the one to blame for this forum software where it is not possible to use fixed size fonts, or format paragraphs as code, or what about the fact that the forum software is using default SQLPlus output as META for some graphical lines?
Isn't this the forum for Oracle Database users?

2. I have someone that increase the size of the temporary tablespace, so I have to decrease it to its normal size, my question is when I do the following command.
alter database tempfile '/u02/oradata/TESTDB/temp01.dbf' resize 250M;
alter database tempfile '/u02/oradata/TESTDB/temp01.dbf' resize 250M

To shrink the size of TEMP tablespace

Dear all,
There is a databse with RAC, now in OEM the size of TEMP tablespace has been reached at 99.9%. now we want to shrink the size of TEMP tablespace.
how to we do that???????
plz help me...........

Temporary tablespaces usually show they are full, however this space is not actually in use. It is rather allocated. Oracle has evaluated the best way to obtain the most of performance, and he said it is better to allocate once than allocate-deallocate-reallocate extents, so temporary space is not 'released'.
If you want to feel psychologically more confortable with lower allocated space, you can drop your tablespace (create an interim default temporary tablespace first) and recreate it.
You can also rebuild temporary datafiles:
alter tablespace temp add tempfile 'C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.dbf' size 32m;
SQL> select name from v$tempfile;
NAME
C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP.DBF
C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.DBF
SQL> alter database tempfile 'C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.DBF' drop including datafiles;
Database altered.
