Re: Automatic or Uniform allocation

2004-01-23 Thread chris
Ron,

I agree, uniform sizing is best. I hardly ever use automatic except for small 
development databases and small MISC tablespaces and even then I think Why 
didn't I use use uniform 64K ?

Cheers,

Chris

Quoting Ron Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Brad,
  For LMT's I prefer uniform sizing that I can define to meet the needs
 of the data. If you use automatic the extend sizes will change
 drimatically as the number if extends increase. With a little planning
 you can have little waste in the tablespace and use the tablespace for
 multiple tables of the same size requirements.
 We have used the partitioning and LMT's for the yearly data we have,
 about 5 gig per table per year and the extend count is only around 100
 with minimal free space. It makes it easier in the planning stage if you
 can keep it simple.

I'd go a bit further than that.  Your article is
fantasitic.

I've read How to stop defrag ... several times.  It
just never clicked for me.

I've been migrating to LMT using your article, and
it's been great.  It's crystal-clear, and I really
appreciate the examples.

Thanks!

Johnathan,
 Very interesting article. I especially like the parts where it is not
our fault it is designed that way. I agree that with proper thought and
trial, a lot of perceived performance issues can be eliminated or
minimized.
I could really use the compress option, I guess that I will have to
upgrade to 9i. Darn, I only have 1 year under my belt on 8i and already
10g is in the pipe.
Thanks for the article.
