No if you have no timestamp. I would tend to say that if : a) no delete is ever performed b) the number of freelists is one then the rowid WITHIN ONE EXTENT would probably be significant, and I don't see any reason why extents would not be filled in the order in which they appear in DBA_EXTENTS, but there is no absolute certainty. -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Software -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
