In Oracle database, you can create a temporary tablespace by following these steps.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, log in to the sys user or a user with sysdba privileges in the Oracle database.<\/li>\n
  2. Create a new temporary tablespace using the following SQL statement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    CREATE<\/span> TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp_tbs\r\nTEMPFILE '\/path\/to\/tempfile.dbf'<\/span> SIZE 100<\/span>M AUTOEXTEND ON<\/span> NEXT 10<\/span>M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED\r\nEXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL<\/span> UNIFORM SIZE 1<\/span>M;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    In this, temp_tbs is the name of the temporary tablespace, \/path\/to\/tempfile.dbf is the path of the temporary file, SIZE specifies the initial size, AUTOEXTEND ON indicates automatic extension, NEXT specifies the size of the next extension, MAXSIZE specifies the maximum size, EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL indicates using local management, and UNIFORM SIZE specifies a uniform extension size.<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. After creation, you can designate the previously default temporary tablespace as the newly created temporary tablespace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      ALTER<\/span> DATABASE DEFAULT<\/span> TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp_tbs;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      By following the above steps, you can create a new temporary tablespace in Oracle database and set it as the default temporary tablespace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
