What you say is true. Now my question is What should be the answer to the
question "How you plan the Database sizing for a given application?". I faced
it in a DBA interview. I did mention about the requied tablespaces, storage
parameters etc depending on Application size. Am I missing something?
Seniors, please advice.

Ramesh,

I presume you are looking for something to tell you how to configure a
database server, and such a thing does not exist.  Period.

The real answer is, that this is far too application dependent, and that
only the application developers can provide anything of this kind.  And
even in this case, such configuration guides are often more misleading
than guiding.  There have been attempts at making rules like "this
application is like X tpc-c transactions", but they also fail to be of
any actual value.

Also, if what you really were looking for was something to tell you the
size (in GB) of the required disk to store schema with a certain
definition, you could create some rough estimates.  However, with todays
typical disksizes, you run out of spindles much before you run out of GB.

Thanks, Bj�rn.
