Okay, I'm about to create some locally managed tablespaces for some large partitioned tables. I plan on making each datafile 2GB, with an extent of 20M.
What I've done other times when I use LMTs is add 64K to the file size, for the bitmap header, so that I don't waste most of an extent. But in those cases, the datafile size has been less than 2GB. We will be on Solaris 2.8, I know that the OS can handle files larger than 2GB but it makes me nervous to do this. I hate to waste most of 20M just for the bitmap header. Is my thinking way off? If you've been doing this sort of sizing (it's a data warehouse, yes), what have you done? thanks! Rachel __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
