Thanks for the help. "

Naturally, you need to consider how large a table the programs will attempt to create. If you only got 5 MB left on a drive ( silly example, I know, but still!), then you may have a situation where your programs cause you to run out of space. Just like an application that causes excessive temp_db growth. Space management is (imho), something your need automated, ongoing and reactive on a server, as well as proactive in terms of trend analysis of data growth. This is all work that, from what I've seen, falls to the DBA, since no-one else seems to want to do it, and can look at both drive usage growth trends, and data usage and growth trends.

I suggest determining the space requirements of the temp tables, and monitoring in an ongoing process to ensure that, "suddenly" they don't start eating your disp space.

Just my 2 cents ...
