I have a table that is 32G in size including a LOB column. And it will grow furthur. The LOB column contains image files about 150M in size. Currently it is in a tablespace with uniform extent size of 1M. I would like to move it to a tablespace with a bigger extent size, such as 16M or even bigger. Is it wise to do that? Thanks.

Have you considered partitioning the table?

That is another thing I am considering. But before that I need to decide if the new tablespace should have bigger extent size.

I think there are other more important things than extent size. Partitioning should be the first thing you evaluate as mentioned. Also, if this is largely static read-only data you should use compression.

Also you may (or may not) want to put your table data and LOBS in different tablespaces. So perhaps a 1M extent is fine for the data, the lobs should be higher. You space usage/waste may increase though with larger extents.
