Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: decrease initial extent
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 entries.

Since I agreed with Mladen that it wouldn't work, I just had to test this.On 8.1.7.3 on OpenVMS the "deallocate unused keep # " shrinks the initial extent.It shrank a test table from 1m to 8k. I'm not sure why it chose 8k.(db_block_size=4k, default initial_extent for the tablespace=64k)I assume it would work on SYS tables as well.(No sacrificial database that I'm willing to try it on.)Nelson
