How to drop or recreate TEMP Tablespace in Oracle 11g (11.2) Database
Posted by Mir Sayeed Hassan on September 10th, 2017
First Verify the Temp TBS Exist in database
[code]SQL> select * from v$tempfile;
FILE# CREATION_CHANGE# CREATION_ TS# RFILE# STATUS ENABLED BYTES BLOCKS CREATE_BYTES BLOCK_SIZE
———- —————- ——— ———- ———- ——- ———- ———- ———- ———— ———-
NAME
1 925784 07-NOV-15 3 1 ONLINE READ WRITE 4158652416 507648 20971520 8192[/code]
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/temp01.dbf
Move Default Database temp2 tablespace
[code]SQL> ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp2;[/code]
Make sure No sessions are using your Old Temp tablespace
– Find Session Number from V$SORT_USAGE:
[code]SQL> SELECT USERNAME, SESSION_NUM, SESSION_ADDR FROM V$SORT_USAGE;[/code]
no rows selected
If the find any session exist then get the SID from the V$SESSION view, Try to kill that session
SELECT SID, SERIAL#, STATUS FROM V$SESSION WHERE SERIAL#=SESSION_NUM;
Or
SELECT SID, SERIAL#, STATUS FROM V$SESSION WHERE SADDR=SESSION_ADDR;
– Kill Session:
Now kill the session with IMMEDIATE.
[code]SQL> ALTER SYSTEM KILL ‘SID,SERIAL#’ IMMEDIATE; [/code]
Drop the existing temp tablespace
[code]SQL> select * from v$tablespace;
TS# NAME INC BIG FLA ENC
—————– —————————— — — — —
0 SYSTEM YES NO YES
1 SYSAUX YES NO YES
2 UNDOTBS1 YES NO YES
4 USERS YES NO YES
3 TEMP NO NO YES
6 EXAMPLE YES NO YES
7 TEMP2 NO NO YES
[/code]
[code]SQL> DROP TABLESPACE temp INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;[/code]
Tablespace dropped.
Move Tablespace Temp, back to new temp tablespace
[code]SQL> ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;[/code]
Database altered.
7. Drop temporary for tablespace temp02 which is newly created
[code]SQL> DROP TABLESPACE temp2 INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;[/code]
Tablespace dropped.
Verify the Temp TBS
[code]SQL> select * from v$tempfile;
FILE# CREATION_CHANGE# CREATION_ TS# RFILE# STATUS ENABLED
———- —————- ——— ———- ———- ——- ———-

Hence – Temp TBS is drop/recreate created as per our requirement, Tested, Verified in our “TEST DATABASE”;
Therefore DB Shutdown is not required to perform the above operation as drop/recreate the temp tbs.
