Manual allocation of extents, it is called "Oracle Striping". It is generally rarely used and most people tend to use raid to handle it. But is a very plausable techinique, as long as you can keep up with the extent allocation.
I don't know of any way that automates this process.

Hi All,

Is there any way to get Oracle (816) to do round robin extent allocation eg. if a tablespace has 4 data files and each file is on a different disk, can extents be allocated from each file in sequence ? As I understand, Oracle will fill one file and then go onto the next file.

Cheers,

Ade
