8.1.7 LMTs Autoallocate vs Uniform Extents

2002-03-26 Thread sundeep maini
Can someone point me to good reading material on this subject. Is one better than the other for performance and manageability? Syntactically the autoallocate is shorter and seems to be more hands off (does that mean worry free also?). TIA = Sundeep Maini Consultant Currently on

Sundeep - Start by reading the classic paper How to Stop Defragmenting and Start Living at this link: http://www.dbatoolbox.com/WP2001/spacemgmt/defrag.htm Actually, autoallocate and uniform extents work very well together. But you need to understand the concepts behind them first. And make sure

Sundeep, Major differences between AUTOALLOCATE and UNIFORM is the fact that extent sizes in AUTOALLOCATE tablespace are not uniformly-sized. I've been working in v9.0.1 (not 8.1.7 -- don't have one of those!) and noticed the following pattern in non-partitioned tables and range-partitioned

There's a note on my website in the errata and addenda to the book, chapter 8, about this. 64MB extents kick in when the segment has grown to about 1GB. However, oddities occur all over the place, particularly when the tablespace has been exercised for a while. It is possible for Oracle to be

Sundeep Oops, egg on my face. Reading too fast, seeing one word and thinking another. My understanding from Stop Defragmenting and Start Living was that uniform extents was the direction Oracle was heading. The problem with autoallocate is that you can end up with fragmented tablespaces
