原本在9i上可以顺利完成的CTAS脚本，迁移到10g后运行总是报“ORA-1652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace TS_HQY1_TEMP “无法扩展临时表空间的错误。应用人员表示该脚本涉及的数据量在迁移前后变化不大，而且令人匪夷所思的是在新的10g库上临时表空间大小已达40多个G，要远大于原9i库。很显然这不是由于临时表空间过小导致的该问题，更多的原因肯定是出在迁移后Oracle不同的行为方式上。
该脚本每月执行一次用以汇总数据，其中一个单表接近4亿行记录，GROUP BY操作涉及到的数据量十分庞大。我们来具体看一下这个SQL:
create table gprs_bill.zou_201007_cell_id as
select
calling_num mobile_number,
lac,
lpad(cell_id, 5, '0') cell_id,
count(*) c,
sum(call_duration) call_duration,
sum(decode(record_type, '00', 1, 0) * call_duration) moc_call_duration,
sum(decode(record_type, '01', 1, 0) * call_duration) mtc_call_duarion
from gprs_bill.g_all_cdr01
where substr(calling_num, 1, 7) in (select mobile_prefix from gprs_bill.zou_mobile_prefix)
group by calling_num, lac, lpad(cell_id, 5, '0');
SQL> set autotrace traceonly exp

8 sum(decode(record_type,'01',1,0)*call_duration) mtc_call_duarion
9 from gprs_bill.g_all_cdr01
10 where substr(calling_num,1,7) in (select mobile_prefix
11 from gprs_bill.zou_mobile_prefix)
12 group by calling_num , lac , lpad(cell_id,5,'0');

可以看到Oracle使用了HASH GROUP BY 算法以实现数据分组；HASH算法是10g中新引入的分组算法。
下面我们来详细介绍下10g中数据分组的改动：
在10g中GROUP BY操作仍将引发排序操作，但10g中引入了新的算法，这些算法都不保证返回的数据行有序排列；在10g中如果想保证”GROUP BY”后返回的数据有序排列则需要强制使用”ORDER BY”子句，这点和9i是截然不同的。若你没有指定”ORDER BY”子句，则不能保证返回的结果正确排序。
在10g中”GROUP BY”子句更倾向于使用一种HASH算法而非原先的SORT算法来分组数据，HASH算法的CPU COST要低于原先的SORT算法。但这2种算法在10g中都不保证返回数据正常排序，当采用SORT算法时可能”碰巧”出现返回正常排序数据的状况。
MOS建议，如果迁移中出现大量不利的变化，则可以通过修改参数来确保沿用原先的算法。但需要注意的是，即便采用了以下参数仍不能保证10g后”GROUP BY”后返回的数据如9i中那样排序，你需要做的是加入显式的”ORDER BY”子句以保证Oracle为你做到这一点。
alter session set "_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled" = false;
其中_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled隐式参数决定了Oracle是否可以启用新的HASH算法来进行数据分组(也适用于distinct等操作)。
对于以上说法我们通过实验进一步验证：
在11g中的测试如下：

应用脚本没有数据一定要正确排序的强制要求，但使用HASH GROUP BY算法后临时表空间的使用量大幅上升，远大于之前在9i上的使用量，最后导致语句无法顺利完成。首先想到的当然是通过修改_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled参数恢复到原先的SORT算法，并观察其临时表空间使用量:
SQL> alter session set "_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled"=false;
Session altered.
SQL> select

可以看到在会话级别设置_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled为false后，Oracle不再采用10g中的HASH分组算法；因为该CTAS SQL脚本运行时间较长，我们通过动态视图V$SORT_USAGE来观察其运行期间的排序段使用量:

该分组操作最后排序段使用量为13922MB，在客户可以接受的范围内。看起来新引入的HASH算法虽然有CPU成本低于SORT算法的优势，但可能消耗大量临时空间，可谓有得有失。
