I have encounter the following message when I tried to run a query.
"ORA-03232: unable to allocate an extent of 18 blocks from tablespace 3",
and I have check the tablespace,
tablespace name : temp
initial extend : 131072
next extend : 131072
max extend : 4096
pct increate : 0

and I have change the tablespace,
tablespace name : temp
initial extend : 262144
next extend : 262144
max extend : 4096
pct increate : 0

still does not solve my problem, please advise. Thank you.

The problem is there is no more space in the tablespace, increase it.

Always post your Oracle version (with 4 decimals), always copy and paste the error, always copy and paste what you do, DO NOT just tell or interpret it.

There are a couple of things strange in your post.

Michel

Hi,greentea,please specify the oracle version.By the way in general the error u asked for may be having one of these causes

1)Your SELECT statement has a "order by" clause, which requires the temporary tablespace for sorting

2) An attempt was made to specify a HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT value that is greater than the tablespace's NEXT value

Solution to the cause
1)Set the tablespace to autoextend mode: ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE filename AUTOEXTEND on NEXT 10M;
2)Increase the value of NEXT for the tablespace using ALTER TABLESPACE DEFAULT STORAGE or decrease the value of HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT
3) Set the parameter HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT = 0 in the ini file and restart the database, This satisfies the condition already that NEXT > hash_multiblock_io_count (as per oracle documentation it is not recommended to modify this parameter)

Why not drop the database and recreate it?

that is temp tablespace

Who say that?
It is not because a tablespace is named temp that it is a temporary tablespace. You can't know and so can destroy OP's data.
