Is the effect of modifying PCTFREE/PCTUSED immediate ?
If I do an "ALTER TABLE <tablename> PCTFREE 99 PCTUSED1", does this take effect immediately, even for existing blocks. [If so, existing blocks would not get new rows inserted]. Or is it effective only in new Extents ? In that case, existing blocks in existing Extents still use the old PCTFREE/PCTUSED parameters and keep re-entering the FreeList.
