Title: RE: rebuild index -initial extent - magic??!!
Rebuild will use the same initial extent as it was before but will change the next extent size. Either  drop and recreate index or You can also think about using Locally managed Uniform Extent size tablespace, that way you dont have to worry about specifying initial and next extent.

I did the following in Oracle RDBMS 9i:


_________________________________________________________________________________
SQL> alter index xsc_uk rebuild tablespace ax_le_small storage (initial 128K
  2  next 128K);
SQL> select initial_extent,next_extent,index_name from dba_indexes
  2  where index_name like 'XSC%';

         65536      131072 XSC_CLNT_FK_I
         65536      131072 XSC_PK
        131072      131072 XSC_UK
_________________________________________________________________________________


As I wish to use uniform extent sizing and I was given an import that does have that.  I am a little concerned about the initial extent changing - what if there is data in the index?  - how it could possibly deallocate space if you wish to have a smaller extent size.  It was very quick.  Did I really end up with new extents for XSC_UK each 128K????
