ORA-25153: Temporary Tablespace is Empty

Problem Description
Whenever you try to access temporary tablespace it fails with error ORA-25153. Suppose I want to get the user creation script of user SHAIK but it fails with following message.

SQL> SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('USER','SHAIK') from dual;
ERROR:
ORA-25153: Temporary Tablespace is Empty
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 443
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 2729
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4333
ORA-06512: at line 1

Cause of The Problem
The user assigned to a temporary tablespace does not exist in the database. For example the user is associated to a temporary tablespace and later someone has dropped it.

Solution of The Problem
We can see whether any temporary tablespace available in database by,
SQL> select count(*) from dba_temp_files;
COUNT(*)
----------
1

Now we see there is temporary tablespace existed in the database. But possibly user SHAIK is not assigned to any temporary tablespace. We can check the user's SHAIK tablespace by,
SQL> select temporary_tablespace from dba_users where username='SHAIK';
TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE
------------------------------
TEMP

But in database the available temporary tablespaces are,
SQL> select tablespace_name from dba_temp_files;
TABLESPACE_NAME
------------------------------
TEMP3

So TEMP which is assigned to SHAIK does not existed in database and hence we got ORA-25153: Temporary Tablespace is Empty.

Now change the temporary tablespace of user SHAIK.
SQL> alter user shaik tablespace temp3;
User altered.

Any now above query and it is ok.
SQL> SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('USER','SHAIK') from dual;
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('USER','SHAIK')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CREATE USER "SHAIK" IDENTIFIED BY VALUES '55E19EAC6BA480EA'
DEFAULT TABLESPACE "USER_TBS"
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "TEMP3"

How to make partitioning in Oracle more Quickly

As the table size grows and full table scans happens more frequently then there is no alternative than partitioning in oracle. Partition greatly enhance performance of a query. I will start my partitioning system simply with an example. In my database the following query took 30~35 seconds to complete. After partitioning the performance increased amazingly and it then took only 1 second. My query was, SELECT DISTINCT fs.type, fs.id , fs.pid, fs.cid , fs.cr_id, fs.created_date FROM summary fs where fs.id in (select fa.id from forms fa where fa.sar in (select la.sar from login la where la.login_id=1 and fa.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') and fs.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') ) )and mode=0; After seeing above query I decide to make range partition on column created_date both in summary table and forms table. Below is the list of procedur

Copy files between Unix and Windows with rcp

There are many third party tools by which you can copy files between windows and unix machine. Some common tools are winscp, SSHSecureShellClient etc. Instead of using any third party tool, you can use original unix and windows built-in tool to do the task. The RCP (Remote CoPy) is a standard UNIX tool and a Microsoft Windows 2000 tool that copies files/folder to and from computer running the RCP service. Before you can use the RCP tool from a Windows-based computer you must do something in your UNIX computer. you must turn on the RCP service and update the security files to allow the Windows-based computer to connect to your unix machine over this service. The following steps will help you. Step 01: Turn on RCP service on UNIX Host Turn on the RCP service on unix machine by using inetd: 1. Log on as root. 2. Edit the file /etc/Inetd.conf. 3. Uncomment the lines that start with shell and that start with exec. 4. Save the file. 5. Use ps -ef |grep inetd and determine inetd service p

ORA-04062: timestamp of procedure has been changed

Problem Description In the database I have created one procedure named a as below. create or replace procedure a(a number) as begin insert into t1 values(1); commit; end; / Now after creating database link using remote database machine whenever I access this procedure "A" it executes successfully and I get value "1" in table t1. Like below in example where orastdby_m is the database link, shaik is the schema name and value 1 is the argument value though argument value is not used in the procedure. SQL> exec shaik.a@orastdby_m(1); PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. Now in the source database machine I changed the procedure as below. Though you can change anything like any literal; adding space or remove space. I changed value to be inserted from 1 to 2. create or replace procedure a(a number) as begin insert into t1 values(2); commit; end; / Now in the other database whenever I execute the procedure using database link it throws error ORA-04062. But subseq
