Hi All, Actually, in extreme cases ( >87000 in my case, and I had 12 tables like that) it can cause problems with upgrading. Not sure what, but we had to do CTAS into new tables with much larger extents to do the upgrade from 8.1.5 to 8.1.6 here. Had Oracle support and consultants baffled also
I still like to keep the number of extents below 500, but I'm paranoid :) Dave Rachel wrote: Snip .... > There really is NO reason to worry about large numbers of extents these > days.
