Is it possible to determine how many times a file has extended? I know that v$datafile.CREATE_BYTES will show what size the file was initially created at. And dba_data_files.INCREMENT_BY shows how much each datafile is currently set to extend by (number of database blocks).
But, given that we can manually resize a file and that we can alter the value of next for a datafile, does Oracle store how many times each file has extended? Why is this of interest - this number can be related to / help explain the degree of OS fragmentation for the datafile.
