Subject: Re : Re : Creating temporary tablespace

The syntax is OK, for 8.1.6 at least (I never tried it on 8.1.5). I’ve used the following for the last several databases I’ve build, without any problems.
.
create temporary tablespace temp
tempfile ‘/blah/blah/temp01.dbf’ size 500M
extent management local uniform size 1M;
.
The thing to be aware of is that the file is created sparse on Unix platforms. Not a huge deal, generally, but you have to keep it in mind when looking at filesystem usage.
