The last time I tested on a clean tablespace, an initial of 65MB gave me a consistent result which I recall as: Extent 0 at 8MB Extents 1 - 56 at 1MB each Extent 57 at 8MB (The 56 may be wrong, but the key feature was that the zeroth extent was 8MB). > me I go for UNIFORM.... > I agree, but then I like to pretend I am in control of what's going on around me. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Jonathan Lewis INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
