How can we monitor the temporary space usage by the current session.

Regards

This script reports temporary tablespace usage. (This script was created for Oracle9i Database.)

With this script you can monitor the actual space used in a temporary tablespace and see the HWM of the temporary tablespace. The script is designed to run when there is only one temporary tablespace in the database.

select sum( u.blocks * blk.block_size)/1024/1024 "Mb. in sort segments"
, (hwm.max * blk.block_size)/1024/1024 "Mb. High Water Mark"
from v$sort_usage u, (select block_size
from dba_tablespaces
where contents = 'TEMPORARY') blk
, (select segblk#+blocks max
from v$sort_usage
where segblk# = (select max(segblk#) from v$sort_usage) ) hwm
group by hwm.max * blk.block_size/1024/1024;

I m executing the rebuild operation .
After that when i execute this command i dont find any result.
Size of index is 500 Mb
Does it mean rebuild doesnot used any temporary tablespace
Morever we even checked with temp_space_header . However we still find that after rebuild the value doesnot increases.
Kindly explain.

During the rebuild Oracle uses the space that will be the new index as temporary space.
It mostly does not need temporary tablespace.

Approximatively:
- 0 in temporary space
- same size than the current index in target tablespace

Thanks a lot for your replies and help
But i still have 2 more concerns.

- I wanted to confirm while rebuilding It creates the temp segment in the same tablespace where the index is created and drops the previous index as soon as new index is created.

- But i m confused when i m rebuilding an large index more than 5 B it gives error : Cannot extend temp segment. Then now how it moves to temporary tablespace.

1/ Confirmed
2/ If you read the name of the temp segment tablespace used you will see it is the target tablespace. As I said, Oracle uses temp space (segment) in this one not the temporary tablespace (don't mix up, temp tablespace and temp segment).

Michel
