Unusual ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace TEMP_

user3636719Aug 23 2012 — edited Aug 23 2012
Hello Gurus,

I apologies posting the same pot in different category

I am getting strange error, after query running for 15 minutes.
ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace TEMP_TS
01652. 00000 -  "unable to extend temp segment by %s in tablespace %s"
*Cause:    Failed to allocate an extent of the required number of blocks for
           a temporary segment in the tablespace indicated.
*Action:   Use ALTER TABLESPACE ADD DATAFILE statement to add one or more
           files to the tablespace indicated.
select * from v$version;

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
"CORE	11.2.0.3.0	Production"
TNS for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.3.0 – Production
After following suggestions online I increased TEMP_TS to 10Gig since I got the same error few more times.

I have other database with same data in which I have less temp space (5 Gig) but, it is not throwing error and give results below 1 sec.

I bounce the database see if that makes difference but it did not.

My question is

*1. What other parameters that I need to consider for this error?*
*2. Why even after increase in temp space (almost doubled) did not resolve the error?*
