time for me to ask the experts again.

My data warehouse will be 9.2, with all locally managed tablespaces. We
will be following what I have taken to calling the "Goldilocks"
principle -- that of small, medium and large tablespace extent sizes,
with variations in that we will separate indexes and data, and will
have even more separation for our fact tables into partitioned tables
and tablespaces.

However, now comes the time for me to work out storage clauses. And a
quick read through the docs leaves me wondering if I should just turn
on automatic segment-space management and not worry about setting
PCTFREE, PCTUSED and FREELIST parameters. I can't find any real
information or bugs on MetaLink either.

Does anyone have any experience, good OR bad, with using this feature?
If you are doing data warehouse work, what are good values for the
parameters if I DO use them? One fact table is likely to be highly
updated (customer info) as we collect more and more specific
information from customers. The rest will be, as you would expect from
a DW, mostly inserts.

Help?

Thanks!

Rachel
