Why do you think your temporary table went to disk? Where you think data in a temporary table physically located? I'm not sure on that, but I would guess that GTT data stored in sessions PGA. If it true that presumably sort_arrea_size can have some effect on how long Oracle will try to keep GTT data in the memory. Please correct me if I am wrong.
