Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Controlling disk space usage
Sean,
I assume from your question that you are already using autoextend on your tablespaces.
I personally do not use that option and therefore the chance of a tablespace expanding above available disk space never occurs.
However in the event of my running a massive insert or import when I was not sure how much space would be used I might use autoextend until the creation was over and then turn autoextend off

Subject: Controlling disk space usage
Wondering what folk out there do to manage disk space usage by tablespaces. Is it common/bad practice to have MAXSIZE unlimited and/or MAX_EXENTS set to a value which if reached would be larger than disk capacity and therefore regular observation of space is required, or is there a better way to do this?
Sean :)
