We tend to use multiples of 1Gb and add 1 Mb to the file so that we get 2001, 10001 Mb etc Solaris 2.8 LMT uniform extents range from 64K to 20Mb John
-----Original Message----- Sent: 25 September 2002 19:44 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We created two datafiles of 16GB+64K all LMT autoallocate ... never gave a problem. A basic testing concluded that fixed size allocation of 128M caused unnecessary delays whereas autoallocate was much faster. I don't know the full details yet, but I'll know soon. Of course this is undergoing lot of testing (the whole application, no problems with datafiles yet), but we will probably settle for about 4GB+64K. This is AIX5L 64 bit running Oracle 9iR2.
