To drop an existing temporary tablespace and recreate using Quick I/O files

Drop the temporary tablespace, including its contents:

$ sqlplus /nolog

SQL> connect / as sysdba;

SQL> drop tablespace tablespace_name including contents;

Create a Quick I/O file on a VxFS file system:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/qiomkfile -h header_size -s size \

/mount_point/filename.dbf

Change the owner and group permissions on the file

# chown oracle:dba .filename

# chmod 660 .filename

Create a new temporary tablespace using the create temporary tablespace

command.

To use the create temporary tablespace command:

$ sqlplus /nolog

SQL> connect / as sysdba;

SQL> create temporary tablespace tablespace_name \

tempfile '/mount_point/new_filename.dbf' size size reuse;

This example shows how to drop tablespace tempts, create a Quick I/O file

temp01.dbf, change permissions and then create a new temporary tablespace

tempts using the create temporary tablespace command:

$ sqlplus /nolog

SQL> connect / as sysdba;

SQL> drop tablespace tempts including contents;

Tablespace dropped.

# /opt/VRTS/bin/qiomkfile -h 32k -s 100M /db01/temp01.dbf

# chown oracle:dba .temp01

# chmod 660 .temp01

$ sqlplus /nolog

SQL> connect / as dba;

SQL> create temporary tablespace tempts \

tempfile '/db01/temp01.dbf' \
