I seem to be confused about the relationship between
tablespace management and allocation methods. 

What is the USER allocation_type (as reported by
DBA_TABLESPACES)? I thought this corresponded only to
dictionary-managed tablespaces--I see it associated
with locally-managed tablespaces as well.

Also, I thought that PCTINCREASE was only applicable
to dictionary-managed tablespaces. Again, I am seeing
a PCT_INCREASE=50 for some locally-managed tablespaces
in one of my databases. How is this possible?

Based on everything I have read (docs & metalink)
about LMTs vs. Dictionary, I am perplexed by the
results of the following query I ran:

  1  select extent_management, allocation_type,
pct_increase, count(*)
  2  from dba_tablespaces
  3  group by extent_management, allocation_type,
pct_increase;

EXTENT_MAN ALLOCATIO PCT_INCREASE   COUNT(*)
---------- --------- ------------ ----------
DICTIONARY USER                 0          4
DICTIONARY USER                50          3
LOCAL      SYSTEM                          1
LOCAL      UNIFORM              0          1
LOCAL      USER                50        283  <---
????

As always, your feedback is ALWAYS appreciated.
