Re: SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO hangs on 9.2.0.4 on Linux

Title: Message

Hi Mladen,   Because when you insert a row, Oracle has absolutely no idea by how much it might grow (should the insertion of that 18th row use up the remaining space in the block or should we save some, who's to know ...). Therefore the setting of some magic PCTFREE is not supported. Forget about PCTUSED, FREELISTS and FREELIST GROUPS but ASSM doesn't support the forgetting of PCTFREE.   Cheers   Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: Mladen Gogala To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 2:09 AM Subject: RE: SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO hangs on 9.2.0.4 on Linux And why not? Forgetting about PCTFREE/PCTUSED is the main point of automatic segment space management. Initial/next are resolved by using LMT, because that's what takes care of your extent sizes.     -- Mladen Gogala Oracle DBA -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Foote Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 11:55 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO hangs on 9.2.0.4 on Linux Hi Mladen,   I can't help you with your problem, I haven't had the pleasure on NT or Tru64 but I just wanted to point out that you can't forget about PCTFREE even with ASSM.   Cheers   Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: Mladen Gogala To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 12:44 AM Subject: SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO hangs on 9.2.0.4 on Linux I have RDBMS 9.2.0.4 on RH 7.3 and I executed the following command:   create tablespace wizard datafile '/oradata/WIZ/wizard01.dbf' size 3072M reuse autoextend on next 1024M maxsize 16385m extent management local autoallocate segment space management auto;   The whole system just hung, doing I/O like crazy.  I was unable to killl one of the server processes which survived even shutdown abort, so I had to bounce thw whole box. No errors, no traces, no anything. Does anybody else have experience with this? Is there a known bug (not currently known to me)  with a patch that I can install? I'd really like to use "SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO" and forget about pctfree/pctused stuff.   -- Mladen Gogala Oracle DBA     Note: This message is for the named person's use only.  It may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.  No confidentiality or privilege is waived or lost by any mistransmission.  If you receive this message in error, please immediately delete it and all copies of it from your system, destroy any hard copies of it and notify the sender.  You must not, directly or indirectly, use, disclose, distribute, print, or copy any part of this message if you are not the intended recipient. Wang Trading LLC and any of its subsidiaries each reserve the right to monitor all e-mail communications through its networks.  Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the message states otherwise and the sender is authorized to state them to be the views of any such entity.       Note: This message is for the named person's use only.  It may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.  No confidentiality or privilege is waived or lost by any mistransmission.  If you receive this message in error, please immediately delete it and all copies of it from your system, destroy any hard copies of it and notify the sender.  You must not, directly or indirectly, use, disclose, distribute, print, or copy any part of this message if you are not the intended recipient. Wang Trading LLC and any of its subsidiaries each reserve the right to monitor all e-mail communications through its networks.  Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the message states otherwise and the sender is authorized to state them to be the views of any such entity.
