When is a temporary tablespace used?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

In which cases a temporary tablespace is required?
It's mentioned in Oracle documentation but I do not understand why it's being used.



I'm using Oracle 12c r2



Thanks in advance, Peter

          Temporary tablespaces are used in many places. But a simple example might be a SORT operation that is too big to fit into memory. In the case, the sort "spills" to TEMP - basically the temporary tablespace is used to hold some of the sort segments while the sort takes place in memory.
          This is just one of many examples.

            Another example is when joining two tables; depending on the join method, Oracle may need to keep data around temporarily to do that join.

            Also used for temporary tables, including the internal ones used when a query needs to temporarily materialise a result set.
