Initial_extent and next_extent in DBA_TABLES show what you requested. Initial_extent and next_extent in DBA_EXTENTS show what Oracle actually allocated. You have an LMT with an 8M uniform extent. When you request 170M initial extent, that request is recorded in dba_tables and then Oracle will allocate 22 extents of 8M each to satisfy the 170M initial request and record that in dba_extents. That's the smallest to be equal or greater than the requested 170M.

Why the table was created with initial extent as 1700M,
but dba_extents says the first extent is 8M only?

SQL> select initial_extent from dba_tables where table_name='BSIS';
    1782579200

SQL> select bytes from dba_extents where segment_name='BSIS' and extent_id=1;
   8388608

SQL> select bytes,count(*) from dba_extents where segment_name='BSIS' group by bytes;

Roger,


1. Space management can be specified for a tablespace, not a segment. Create
ASSM tablespace and alter table ... move there.

2. Locally managed tablespace, I guess. Oracle doesn't need NEXT_EXTENT and
PCT_INCREASE then.

Hi,


I have the following output when I querying dba_tables.

Question 1: This table is created using manual management method, right?
            What do I do in order to turn it to Automatic segment-space
management?

Question 2: How come there are no values for NEXT_EXTENT and PCT_INCREASE?

Thanks,

Roger Xu
