Hi Dick, What do you consider to be "a large number of extents" in a LMT ? At what point do you consider performance and manageability to be such that you sigh "gee, I wish I had fewer extents" ? What do you consider to be the "ideal" number of extents for a segment in a DMT vs. LMT that makes DMT so desirable ?
I'm really really curious. BTW, I think 10i has some bad news in store for you ...

If you follow the rules of third normal form you have a table with a certain number of rows, a second with a certain number of rows for each row in the first table. Obviously the second table needs more space than the first. Now if you use Dictionary management you can set the storage parameters of each table individually. But if your using local management they both have the same extent sizes. This leads one to having the extent sizes smaller to accommodate the first table and large numbers of extents for the second table. True fragmentation, namely those small useless extents that land between larger used extents, is eliminated in local management but then I have not had those problems with dictionary management either, unless someone makes the case for moving a table but that's very rare. > > Dick Goulet > Senior Oracle DBA > Oracle Certified 8i DBA > > -----Original Message----- > Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 8:25 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: Goulet, Dick > Importance: High > > > Dick, > > I'm trying to follow your line of thought, but I think I missed the path. > > Objects may not have the same storage requirements, but what does that > matter? > > The only way I can make sense of what you say is if trying to have all > objects > occupy a single extent, and there's not much point in that. > > Jared > > > > > > > "Goulet, Dick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 05/29/2003 03:51 PM > Please respond to ORACLE-L > > > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > cc: > Subject: RE: Tablespace management. > > > Thomas, > > With the exception of temp and rollback tablespaces I > have not user locally managed tablespaces just because all objects must > have the same sized extents.
