There's little reason to do anything except "direct path read/write" to tempfiles. Think about it -- no need to share with other sessions, so why involve SGA resources at all? Tempfiles are just an extension to the PGA, in essence...

Would temp files show up as 'direct path read' and 'direct path write' waits? On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 5:03 PM, Tim Gorman <tim@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Tempfiles are numbered from (DB_FILES+1) upward... Quoting Henry Poras <henry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: I have a session on a development system that is waiting on 'db filesequential read'. It has been waiting for ~6000 seconds (state=WAITING). File# (p1) is 201, yet the database only has file#'s from 1-19 (select file# from v$datafile). That explains the long wait. It's trying to read from a non-existent file. I can't connect to strace (attach: ptrace (PTRACE_ATTACH, .): Operation not permitted). Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas where to look? Just reboot and try for the best?
