Table - Extents

2002-11-30 Thread Anand Kumar N
Is there any restriction that the segments shouldn't cross more than 5 extents in oracle 7.3. Pl. help me, as I heard from somebody that the segments shouldn't cross more than 5 extents and my indexes are in more than 20 extents. Thanks in advance Anand KumarDBA ITW Signode India Ltd

Anand - This was the common wisdom several years ago. I used to rebuild tables based on rules of thumb like this. Recently, several leading experts have challenged this assumption, and now it is generally accepted that trying to keep the number of extents below 5 wastes a lot of work for nothing.
