Hi All,

Quick question hopefully.

I have converted some tablespaces from DICTIONARY managed to LOCALLY managed.

The ALLOCATION_TYPE in DBA_TABLESPACES is now showing as USER.

Although the Oracle documentation states that this is expected, does it mean that it is now allocating space incrementally, or uniformly? (since I could usually tell this from the ALLOCATION_TYPE).

Or is it just doing the same as it was before the conversion to LMT (ie, using initial and next extent and pct_increase?).

It is NOT a good idea to convert a tablespace from DMT to LMT, you should create a new LMT one and mobe the objects then you have a pure LMT tablespace.
Converting a tablespace result into a "mixed" tablespace that can't take benefit of all LMT properties.

No fragmentation that is no free hole that can't be reused.

I think he means that there are many benefits to LMT (like the auto allocation, re-use of space etc), however doing a conversion only gives you better performance on the issue of block header contention, as its held as a bitmap file, instead of serially updated in the dictionary. (FET$)

Thats if my understanding is correct?

Hi Michel,

hmmm... in that case,
i would leave the system tablespaces to be DMT and the rest to LMT?

Will that benefit me? atleast NOT srew up the system?

You have no choice in 8i, SYSTEM tablespace must be in DMT.
