SV: query to find high temp usage

I am also interested in tracking temp usage over time by selected long-running 
sql's. Using ash is easy enough tracking a single session, but I have problems 
aggregating a parallel execution. Not all slaves are present in every sample 
which makes simple aggregation unreliable. Any ideas?

Look into TEMP_SPACE_ALLOCATED (and PGA_ALLOCATED) fields of 
DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY. Some more performance counter fields (like read & 
write IO requests & bytes) have been introduced into ASH in Oracle 11.2.
These counters are not necessarily tied to the SQL_ID ASH record shows (as the 
allocation may have been made just a few milliseconds before the ASH sample was 
taken), but in practice, if a SQL uses a lot of TEMP, its SQL_ID will show up 
in ASH around the memory allocations too... And starting from 11g, you can use 
the SQL_PLAN_LINE* fields in ASH to tie the allocation back to the rowsource 
doing the allocation (but the same sampling-related limitations apply in ASH).

If that's not enough, then write a little PL/SQL loop which saves the contents 
of V$SQL_WORKAREA_ACTIVE every minute, it will give you everything you need ...
