The database default temporary tablespace is that answer. A new installation creates a single temporary tablespace named <code>TEMP</code>, and users who are not explicitly assigned a temporary tablespace use the database default.</p> <p>The statement below changes that default for the whole database. It is a one-line change, but it affects every user who relies on the default, so a DBA should know who that is before running it. This post shows the statement, explains each part, and adds read-only queries to check the setting before and after the change.</p>
