Title: RE: coalesce tablespace

Hi Dave,

No.  temporary tablespaces provide a performance gain by not de-allocating extents.  The next transaction that needs the temp tablespace can utilize extents that are already allocated, thus bypassing the overhead of allocating the extents.

That's the idea behind it anyway.  I always ignored temp when determining if coalescing is necessray in the database.

    Does this also apply to a temporary tablespace??  I have a temp TS that has
    a percent extents coalesced of 1.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Following script may be used to check whether coalesing is required or not.
    If lasr column not 100% then coalesce that tbs....

    select substr(tablespace_name,1,10)TS_NAME,total_extents
    "Total_Extnts",extents_coalesced,round(percent_extents_coalesced,0)
    from dba_free_space_coalesced
    /

    It would take contiguous free extents and make them larger extents, which
    would be more likely to reuse.  Especially if there are many smaller ones,
    this moot if using LMT.

    It is a very quick procedure and good to do occasional, you can check in
    dba_data_files_coalesced to see if the number is far from 100%, if it is
    less than 75% or so, just throw a coalesce on the tablespace.

    We have tablespaces in acceptance and production that are being resized for
    growth.  Pctincrease is set at 0.  Would it also help to coalesce the
    tablespace?  What are the benefits of this command?
    Thanks,
    Sandi
