Thanks a ton Dennis. I will certainly go thru this. It looks more detailed.
I also found a much similar analysis at

Raj - My apologies for being late with a reply. Your latest message
prompted
me to recall that Jeremiah Wilton investigated this (or a similar aspect)
back in April. I went into Google and typed "LMT bitmap headers" (without
the quotes), and it retrieved the discussion. I have inserted it below for
your review in case you were not aware of that discussion.

Jeremiah,
>From your bitmap control,
You have FF occurring 3 times followed by 3F which is
255, 255, 255, 63 which is
11111111 11111111 11111111 00111111
So, least signficant bit first,
11111111 11111111 11111111 11111100 which is
used, used, ... (30 times) , free, free
This corresponds with the first: 30 (the bit before the first free bit)

>From the 'Data Management and Storage Internal" notes,
Bitmapped Tablespace File Structure
A new bitmapped tablespace file has the following structure:
File Header 1
block
Bitmapped File Space Header 1 block
Head portion of of Bitmap Blocks N blocks
Useful file blocks U units (A unit is
a number
of blocks)
Tail portion of Bitmap Blocks M blocks
If a Unit = B blocks, then the total file size = 1 + 1 + N + U*B + M
Bitmapped File Space Header
...... (lots to type, I can if you really need it)
Bitmap blocks have 2 parts :
Bitmap control structure
Vector Dump
The fields in the bitmap control structure are:
RelFNo: Relative file number to which the bitmap belongs
BeginBlock: Which block number does the first bit represent
Flag: Zero for permanent files, one for temp files
First: Where to start looking for the free space (bit before first
free
bit)
Free: Number of free slots (bits) in the bitmap (not
the file)
To read the bitmap, take each two-byte pair, least significant bit first.
If there are not eight bits, pad to eight bits with zeroes. Hence 0x0F =
15
= 00001111. When written least significant bit first, the bitmap looks
like
this
11110000 --> used, used, used, used, free, free, free, free
Scanning for the first free extent will start at the 4th bit.

Out of curiosity I decided I wanted to look at what composed the
extent map in locally-managed tablespaces.
I dumped the first 5 blocks of the tablespace's first datafile with
'alter system dump datafile ...' The results surprised me, as they
appeared to consist of almost no data. The LMT in question contains a
variety of segments and extents. How is the LMT bitmap organized?
Start dump data blocks tsn: 1 file#: 2 minblk 1 maxblk 1
Block 1 (file header) not dumped: use dump file header command

Getting no responses on this, I created a test 9.0 database on my NT 4.0
workstation, with a block size of 4K. My observations are :
While creating a LMT with uniform extents of size 16K, the minimum datafile
size has to be 25K. With uniform extents of size 32K, the datafile size has
to be more than 41K, and with uniform extents of size 64K, the minimum
datafile size is 73K. Thus, the size of the datafile should be atleast 2
blocks more than the uniform extent size.
SQL> create tablespace mult
2 datafile 'd:\mult7.dbf' size 10M,
3 'd:\mult2.dbf' size 41K,
4 'd:\mult3.dbf' size 73K,
5 'd:\mult4.dbf' size 128K,
6 'd:\mult5.dbf' size 1024K,
7 'd:\mult6.dbf' size 2048K
8 extent management local uniform size 32K
9 /
Tablespace created.
SQL> select * from dba_free_space where tablespace_name='MULT';
TABLESPACE_NAME FILE_ID BLOCK_ID BYTES

MULT 13 17 983040 240
MULT 14 17 2031616 496

And right now, I have the answer to all my questions. Also, I strongly
recommend visiting http://www.performance-insight.com/ora3_back.html and
look at the topics on locally managed tablespaces. I was impressed. That
was what helped me get to the right answers.

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
I asked this question the other day, but got no replies. I make one more
attempt and rephrase the question. A curious mind wants to know " Assuming
a block size of 2K, what would be the size of the bitmap header if I create
a uniform LMT with datafiles of size 32K, 64K, 100K, 1M and 64M?"
Metalink has not given me any definite answer as yet, and the notes there
have confused moi.

Raj
