Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Table with Long datatypes?
Hi, It would definitely help to place big tables in different tablespaces. Some advantages 1) You can size the tablespaces & tables appropriately. In terms of Initial extent, Next ,Pctincrease ,pctused,pctfree ,freelists. The big tables will get contiguous chunks . 2) In case you have to do a reorg for these tables , only the concerned tablespaces are affected. 3) Fragmentation is reduced in other tablespaces (since you have transferred big tables). 4) If you can seperate the big tables into different schemas , you can reduce your export times by taking backup of seperate schemas (if your application allows this) shreepad.vaidya From: ORACLE-L_at_fatcity.com AT INTERNET on 06/27/2000 07:39 PM To: ORACLE-L_at_fatcity.com AT INTERNET_at_CCMAIL cc: (bcc: Shreepad Vaidya/IN/ALLTELCORP) Subject: Table with Long datatypes? There are lots of questions regarding tables with long tables. When I read the Oracle Performance Tuning manual, it says "All tables that contain LONG or LOB datatypes, should be placed into a separate tablespace". My question, what's the advantage? Also in my application, among the 100 tables, 5 of them are big tables(close to 2GB). Is it better to put them in a separate table space? Thanks in advance.
