Shrinking a temporary tablespace using the ALTER TABLESPACE

edited May 25, 2012 2:19AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 6 comments
I am trying to shrink a temp tablespace on a system running Solaris 10 and Oracle 11.2.0.2.

The production database was created some time ago with all tablespaces using autoextend. This database is only 24 gb in size, excluding temp tablespace.

I know temp and undo tablespaces should not be created with autoextend but I have only been with the company a short time and deferred to their documentation.

Yesterday, the temp tablespace grew from about 1 gb to 32 gb nearly causing an outage.

I tested the alter tablespace temp shrink  space keep 190m; on a test databases where the tablespace had been 200m.

Howdy, Stranger!
