Any DDL like drop table and truncate table definately take longer with 10,000 extents than 1 extent. Try it. There was a test result 1 year back by a list member on that.

That is completely a myth. There is no notable performance different with a table with 10,000 extents and one with 1.

The only problem is when it comes to the bitmaps when dealing with LMT and cluster when dealing with dictionary managed. When you query the extent views, or do space management type processes.

May be it is good practice to keep number of extents to be less than 50, no matter what the size of extent.

Hello,

I'll do an reorganization of a database (about 140 gigs). Some people say that it'd be good to use 128K, 4M and 128M extents. I saw somewhere it'd be 160K, 4M and 160M. Which size do you advice me ? I have also many small indexes (less than 16K).

Regards,

Thanh-truc Nguyen
