How does one convert a tablespace from dictionary to
local? I've wanted to do the reverse but I never saw
anything in the docs that said this was an option.

Are you saying then, that this is probably what
happened in my case and now the tablespace is
performing extent management based on 8k extents? I'm
confused.

Thanks again.
