All, If anybody out there is using temporary tablespace groups instead of a single temp tablespace on a RAC environment could you contact me offline. I would like details about the number of tablespaces vis-a-vis number of nodes etc as I am facing a lot of issues with them like DFS lock contention etc. Thanks much, Fairlie Fairlie Rego Senior Oracle Consultant http://el-caro.blogspot.com/ M: +61 402 792 405 --------------------------------- Now that's room service!
