Greg, I usually insist on that information from the development group then I can charge it off to their budget when it expands beyond the original space. Seriously, I build a table and indexes with init and next the DBBLOCK size and load a controlled amount of data. That will give you a good starting point for quesstimating the space requirements over the provected life of the project. I used the dbblock size to eliminate Oracle rounding up to even blocks.

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/09/01 02:56PM >>> Hi All! I need to calculate/estimate index size for database. In 8.0.5 I used formula from Administrator Guide to calculate index size. Now this formula was removed because of it accuracy (see Metalink). Does some one has formula for 8i ? Thanks.
