automatic segment space management

time for me to ask the experts again.

My data warehouse will be 9.2, with all locally managed tablespaces. We will be following what I have taken to calling the "Goldilocks" principle -- that of small, medium and large tablespace extent sizes, with variations in that we will separate indexes and data, and will have even more separation for our fact tables into partitioned tables and tablespaces.

However, now comes the time for me to work out storage clauses. And a quick read through the docs leaves me wondering if I should just turn on automatic segment-space management and not worry about setting PCTFREE, PCTUSED and FREELIST parameters. I can't find any real information or bugs on MetaLink either.

Does anyone have any experience, good OR bad, with using this feature? If you are doing data warehouse work, what are good values for the parameters if I DO use them? One fact table is likely to be highly updated (customer info) as we collect more and more specific information from customers. The rest will be, as you would expect from a DW, mostly inserts.

Help?

Thanks!

Rachel
