testing.... if the initial extent*min_extents is less than the optimal, yes you can shrink below optimal.
if initial*minextents = optimal, you can execute an alter rollback segment statement that lists a shrink size that is less than optimal AND less than initial*minextents and it will not fail. But if you LOOK at the size it shrinks to, it's initial*minextents. so you can "kinda" shrink below optimal, the statement won't fail, but Oracle will ignore the number you give it. --- "Johnston, Tim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You know what?
