You can not make an intelligent guess at what these values should be without knowing:

1. Average Row Length
2. Blocks Size
3. Average Rows/Block
4. How active the table is for insert, deletes, updates.
5. Average size of updates (1,2,3 columns, 1 byte, 10 bytes)

Without these pieces of information, you just as well keep the defaults, it is just mere guessing to set them to anything else.

Hello !
After having defined all the tables, now I have to parametrize each table. I have some tables that every day must be deleted and reloaded through sql loader.
I think to set PCTFREE = 0, but I don't know if I have to specify a particular value for PCTUSED.
Anybody can give an advice about which value set PCTUSED ?

Thanks in advance,
Andrea
