Fix Full Oracle Temp Tablespace
If the Oracle temporary tablespace becomes full, you can try the following methods to clean up the temporary tablespace:
- Identify which temporary tablespace is taking up the most space: You can check the usage of each temporary tablespace by querying the DBA_TEMP_FILES and DBA_TEMP_FREE_SPACE views.
- To free up space in the temporary tablespace, you can delete temporary table data that is no longer needed or adjust the logic of the application using temporary tables.
- Redistributing temporary tablespace space: Consider increasing the size of the temporary tablespace or allocating more space to the temporary tablespace.
- Rebuilding temporary tablespace: If the above method cannot release enough space, deleting and recreating the temporary tablespace, and then reallocating it to the database, can be considered.
It is important to note that before performing the above operations, it is essential to back up the database to prevent data loss. Additionally, it is recommended to carry out the operations during off-peak hours to minimize the impact on the business.
