Greg is 3/4 right, there is no default temp tablespace in 8i, unless = you count system which you should NOT be using. That does not mean you = can't change a users temporary tablespace. First, if you don't have a temporary tablespace, create one. The = syntax would be: create temporary tablespace <name> tempfile <os spefific> size <what you want> extent management local uniform extents <again what you want>; Second for each user you want to move: alter user <username> temporary tablespace <name>; Now if what you want to do is move users from one temp tablespace to = another, follow the first two steps & then drop the old temp tablespace = afterwards. Sneaky way to do this: declare=20 stmt varchar2(200); begin for a in (select username from dba_users where temporary_tablespace = =3D '<old_temp>') loop stmt :=3D 'alter user '||a.username||' temporary tablespace <new = temp>'; execute immediate stmt; end loop; end; / Dick Goulet Senior Oracle DBA Oracle Certified 8i DBA -----Original Message----- From: Norris, Gregory T [ITS] [mailto:gregory.t.norris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 1:08 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Change Default Temporary Tablespace in 8.1.7=20 That's a 9i new feature... it doesn't exist in 8.1.7. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx =3D [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Otakar Moucka Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 12:02 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Change Default Temporary Tablespace in 8.1.7=3D20 Hello I have problem with change default temprary tablespace .
