That's an awfully strange extent size (514k).  Why don't you make it bigger, and make 
it divisible by your database block size?  This would reduce wasted space.  Also, do 
you really need all 8 columns indexed?  If it's just for performance, you might be 
able to get away with using fewer columns, unless it needs to be a unique index.

Hi all,

I need to build an index on a table of 80 columns with
3 million rows.  The index is on 8 columns.  

I got ORA-01630: max # extents (n) reached in temp
segment in tablespace ARBOR_INDEX, so I add more index
files and enlarge extents, now I have 2 index files 
of 1G each, and tablespace storage is:

ALTER TABLESPACE ARBOR_INDEX
DEFAULT STORAGE (
INITIAL 514K
NEXT 514K
MAXEXTENTS 4080
);

And I still got ORA0-1630.  Should I continue to
increase index file size and extents or there is other
way around?  The datafile contains that table's
tablespace is only 1G.

I didn't do exp, build index, imp since I believe for
large amount of data, it's better to load the data
first then build index.

Any idea?  Thank you.

Leslie
