Two questions I did not find straight answers for:

Is there an easy way to retrieve/query the size of a table in bytes or
blocks

Does adding columns to a table, when it already contains a few millions
records, have a negative performance impact. And how much worse does it
get if you add yet another column thereafter (and another and ...,
alternate solutions ?)
(No, this not bad analysis, we just don't know now what additional
information we will have to store in the future).

Thanx

Filip
