I think, based on what Ian has said, that I will manage the space myself. I know that updates will be rare, under 5% of the time. I know that deletes will not happen, unless I am pruning partitions, so that will not be affected by PCTFREE/PCTUSED values. I know that the data load will be once daily, a single process (for the time being), with no other users on the system. So I should be able to figure this out :) Rachel --- Tim Gorman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > One note: 9i automatic segment space management does not automate > PCTFREE; > that still functions as before.
