    Temporary Tablespaces in Oracle Database

    Temporary tablespaces are used to store transient data during a session, such as for sort operations when data cannot fit in memory. They are also used to store global temporary tables. A temporary tablespace does not contain permanent objects and does not need to be backed up. One can create a temporary tablespace, designate a default temporary tablespace, and check and modify the default. Temporary files that make up a tablespace are not recorded in the control file and can be recreated or removed without dropping the tablespace.

    Temporary Tablespaces in Oracle Database

    What are Temporary Tablespace


    Temporary Tablespace contains transient data that persists only for the duration of the
    session.
    Temporary tablespaces are used to manage space for database sort operations and for storing
    global temporary tables. For example, if you join two large tables, and Oracle cannot do the sort
    in memory (see SORT_AREA_SIZE initialisation parameter), space will be allocated in a
    temporary tablespace for doing the sort operation.
    Other SQL operations that might require disk sorting are: CREATE INDEX, ANALYZE, SELECT
    DISTINCT, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, UNION, INTERSECT, MINUS, Sort-Merge joins, etc.
    Note:- A temporary tablespace does not contain permanent objects and therefore doesn't
    need to be backed up.
    How to create a temporary tablespace
    SQL> create temporary tablespace temp1 tempfile
    'H:\APP\NEWADMIN\ORADATA\ORCL\TEMP01.dbf' size 100m;
    Tablespace created.
    Default Temporary Tablespace
    Default Temporary tablespace can be defined at the database creation time or by issuing an
    "ALTER DATABASE"
    SQL> alter database default temporary tablespace temp1;
    Database altered.
    Restrictions :1. Default Temporary tablespace cannot be dropped till you create another one.
    2. Default Temporary tablespace cannot be taken off-line.
    If you define a default temporary tablespace , it's automatically assigned to users.
    How to find default temporary tablespace of database
    SQL> SELECT * FROM DATABASE_PROPERTIES where
    PROPERTY_NAME='DEFAULT_TEMP_TABLESPACE';
    PROPERTY_NAME
    -----------------------------DEFAULT_TEMP_TABLESPACE
    tablespace

    PROPERTY_VALUE
    DESCRIPTION
    ----------------------------------------------------------TEMP
    Name of default temporary

    How to change default Temporary Tablespace


    1. create a new temporary tablespace
    SQL> create temporary tablespace temp1 tempfile
    'H:\APP\NEWADMIN\ORADATA\ORCL\TEMP01.dbf' size 100m;
    2. Assign new temporary tablespace as the default temporary tablespace.
    SQL> alter database default temporary tablespace temp1;
    Database altered.
    3. Drop the OLD default temporary tablespace
    SQL> drop tablespace temp including contents and datafiles;
    Tablespace dropped.
    4. Check that default temporary tablespace changed or not
    SQL> SELECT * FROM DATABASE_PROPERTIES where
    PROPERTY_NAME='DEFAULT_TEMP_TABLESPACE';
    PROPERTY_NAME
    -----------------------------DEFAULT_TEMP_TABLESPACE
    tablespace

    PROPERTY_VALUE
    DESCRIPTION
    ----------------------------------------------------------TEMP1
    Name of default temporary

    What are Temp Files


    Details of Temp files in the database are not recorded in the control file, means we can recreate
    them whenever we restore the database or after deleting them accidently.
    We cannot remove datafiles from a tablespace till we won't drop the entire tablespace. But we
    can remove tempfiles from a database :How to remove tempfiles from a database :SQL> alter database tempfile 'H:\APP\NEWADMIN\ORADATA\ORCL\TEMP02.DBF' drop
    including datafiles;
    Database altered.
    How to add tempfiles to a database:SQL> alter tablespace temp add tempfile 'H:\APP\NEWADMIN\ORADATA\ORCL\TEMP02.DBF'

    size 100m;
