Re: index size calculation

Greg,
 I usually insist on that information from the development group then I can charge it off to their budget when it expands beyond the original space.   Seriously, I build a table and indexes with init and next the DBBLOCK size and load a controlled amount of data. That will give you a good starting point for quesstimating the space requirements over the provected life of the project. I used the dbblock size to eliminate Oracle rounding up to even blocks.  ROR mª¿ªm

Hi All!
I need to calculate/estimate index size for database. In 8.0.5 I used formula from Administrator Guide to calculate index size. Now this formula was removed because of it accuracy (see Metalink).
Does some one has formula for 8i ?

Thanks.

Greg.
