You haven't been paying attention, have you Eg?
What's being discussed here is not some sort of daily or hourly
mass reorg. Rather, the discussion centers around real-time extent
consolidation, performed by the access method itself, when a new,
contiguous extent is added. FDR does not do that!
Ed,
I have seen data centers run a defrag (extent consolidation) on all
their production packs daily. While this is no means a global thing
it is done at *SOME* data centers. While it would be nice if it were
done auto-magically by DFP realistically with the growth of some data
centers (more like an explosion) its getting harder and harder to do
it daily that is why it would be better to have DFP do it so it
wouldn't have to be done as a separate task.
