different from all the others, your query doesn't show anything for TEMP tablespace - does it mean that there is no TEMP tablespace in my DB or it is required to have special permissions/another query to check TEMP tablespace? � Mikhail Oct 30 '13 at 12:48 @Mikhail: you can't "store" data in temporary tablespaces. Oracle global temporary tables don't have permanent storage, they won't show up in dba_segments AFAIK. � Mat Oct 30 '13 at 13:13 @Mat So there is no way to check which objects use/"overuse" this tablespace? � Mikhail Oct 30 '13 at 13:18 1 Updated answer about TEMP. � Mindaugas Riauba Oct 30 '13 at 13:19
