Some Sr. dba said converting permanent tablespace to temporary & use as default tablespace.

It gives improves performance over temporary tablespace .

How one can convert this & what are advantages of this ?

I create normal OMF Permanent tablespace test.


Create tablespace test ;

Convert same to temporary with following command.

Alter tablespace test offline temporary ;

Alter tablespace test offline temporary ;

But still its show as a permanent tablespace in dba_tablespaecs

Select tablespace_name , contents from dba_tablespaces where tablespace_name = ‘TEST’ ;

Cant even make it to default temporary tablespace,

Alter database default temporary tablespace temp ;

Gives error
alter database default temporary tablespace temp
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12902: default temporary tablespace must be SYSTEM or of TEMPORARY type

1/ Use a REAL temporary tablespace as user temporary tablespace using "create temporary tablespace"

2/ A temporary tablespace can't be used as default tablespace.

Sr. DBA is wrong in this situation.
Ask Sr. DBA to provide reproducable benchmark test to prove his claim.

Nothing to do with temporary tablespace:
from doc
OFFLINE TEMPORARY
If you specify TEMPORARY, then Oracle Database performs a checkpoint for all online datafiles in the tablespace but does not ensure that all files can be written. Files that are offline when you issue this statement may require media recovery before you bring the tablespace back online.
