Hi,

Oracle Version : 9.2.0.7
db_block_size = 8192
INITITAL_EXTENT & NEXT_EXTENT = 109051904
Datafile Size : 6442450944
-----------------------------
Ref : Oracle Metalink Note : HOW TO STOP DEFRAGMENTING AND START LIVING: THE DEFINITIVE WORD ON FRAGMENTATION

When allocating files to a tablespace, make sure to set the size of the file to be a multiple of the extent size for the tablespace plus one block.

These extent sizes are chosen to be a multiple of five blocks since Oracle7 will round all extent sizes to a multiple of five
blocks. In Oracle8 extents won’t be rounded to a multiple of five blocks if they are a multiple of the minimum extent size
for the tablespace.
-----------------------------

Will this hold good in version 9 also?
if yes, So what could be the optimal size for extent size and datafle size.
I want the extent size around 100M and datafile around 6GB.

Please suggest
Brian.

Why do not you try LMT with uniform extents. You will never have fragmentation issues.

Said recomendation is primarily for DMT (initial=next and a zero pctincrease).
With LMT, uniform extent size is the way to go.
It will ***almost*** fix all the fragmentation (still interblock fragmentation is possible which you cannot avoid).

Hi,

Tablespaces are LMT, pct_increase = 0, uniform_size. That means above said sizes are ok !

Brian.
