Physically No Extents, No Blocks are Contigous.. There is No Use in Bringing
the Entire Table 1 or 10 Extents. If you have Used PCTIncrease in your TBS
then Over Time Your Tables and Indexwes will be fragmented. 

My Suggestion would be to give Uniform sized Extents and move the table and
Index into that tablespace.

Hi,

I have  segments (Tables and indexes) which go into 500 MB -- 1 GB . I
intend to do a rebuild since they are fragmented.

Is it beneficial to have a single extent of 500 Mb or multiple extents are
ok  ?  (maybe 4 --5)

My contention is that so long as the extents are contiguous ( I could do a
rebuild) the number do not matter
so long as they are not too high.


Any suggestions ?


Thanks
