Hi All,
What values of Pctfree and Pctused are suitable for a typical batch environment?
Regards,
Kiran

it all depends or the update,insert,select activity of your table !! so plan accordingly
high updates then higher pctfree and lower pctused and vice versa

You reduce pctfree to save space, but at the increased risk of having chained rows when updates run out of space in the block. The default is 10, so reducing that to 0 (say for big read only tables) only save a small amount of data. Increasing pctused makes the block become available sooner for new inserts at the expense of more overhead during DML )because the space is being more actively managed). Batch vs online shouldn't affect the settings. It's pretty rare to get big benefits by chaning these values.
