Title: RE: decrease initial extent





Mladen,


Keep reading, it's further down.



From the 8.1.7 SQL Reference Manual, under the ALTER TABLE entry
(top of page 8-36):


"If you specify KEEP, then the specified amount of space is kept
and the remaining space is freed. When the remaining
number of extents is less than MINEXTENTS, then
MINEXTENTS is adjusted to the new number of extents. If the
initial extent becomes smaller than INITIAL, then INITIAL
is adjusted to the new size."

I don't understand. Here is what manual says:


deallocate_unused_clause


Use the deallocate_unused_clause to explicitly deallocate unused space at the end of the table,
partition or subpartition, overflow data segment, LOB data segment, or LOB index and make the 
space available for other segments in the tablespace.


It's not supposed to change the characteristics of the initial extent. Funny. I'll test it
at home.

Title: RE: decrease initial extent



You are right, but:
In 8.1.6 doc the line next to the KEEP parameter 
say:
KEEP: specify the number of bytes above the high water 
mark the table will have after deallocation. 
This let me to believe the deallocate will not shrink the 
first extent.
 
The text you found is in sub paragraph 3 under 
it.

Re: decrease initial extent

2003-12-04 Thread Yechiel Adar
Thanks to all who replied.

Alter table/index deallocate keep 64k worked like a charm.
I did not checked it in depth but I think that it keep 64k from the actual
end of the data, not the high water mark.

When I read the manual about keep nk I was sure that it means above the high
water mark.

For tables/indexes, the minimum initial extent size is 2 blocks (8k = 2*
4k). Block 0 contains the segment header, block 1 contains the data/index

Re: decrease initial extent

2003-12-03 Thread Mladen Gogala
Yechiel, I thought that the mantra of oracle sales people was 
"disks are cheap", which i very correct, especially when they
don't pay for the disks from their own pockets. What is measly
130M today? My son stores music in GB, not MB. Surely, you 
company can afford an iPod sized disk?

You can move it after you convert the long field to LOB. As it is one
of the system tables which appears in noexp$, it's not guaranteed that
your database will work afterward. OK, let me restate it: it's guaranteed
that it will not work. Other then that, it's only exp/imp of the full
database, and after editing sql.bsq (not for fainthearted)
