1.

What happens when the DEFAULT and TEMP tablespace clauses are left out from C
REATE USER statements?

The user is assigned the SYSTEM tablespace as a default and temporary tablespace
. This is bad because it causes user objects and temporary segments to be placed
into the SYSTEM tablespace resulting in fragmentation and improper table placem
ent (only data dictionary objects and the system rollback segment should be in S
YSTEM).
2. How will you know which temporaray tablepsace is allocated to which user?

SQL> Select temporary_tablespace from dba_users where username=

SCOTT

3. How will you find the current users who are using temporary tablespace segmen
ts?

SQL> V$TEMPSEG_USAGE
4. In 10g, How to allocate more than one temporary tablespace as default tempora
ry tablespace to a single user?

5. Is it possible to make tempfiles as read only?

YES.
6. What is the difference between a TEMPORARY tablespace and a PERMANENT tablesp
ace?

TEMPORARY tablespace gets cleared once the transaction is done where as PERMANEN
T tablespace retails the data.
7. You see multiple fragments in the SYSTEM tablespace, what should you check fi
rst?

tablespace assignment by checking the DBA_USERS view.
