My next to favourite legends.
Small tables don't need to be indexed
Small tables are anything 4 blocks or less
Oracle copies the entire row into the rollback
segment when updating a single column.
Oracle copies the entire block into the rollback
segment when updating a row.
Oracle can only use 5 indexes in a query
(though I haven't heard that one much recently)
Setting tablespace default pctincrease to 1 reduces
fragmentation problems.
(but that's going out of fashion too)
But I guess you, Jeremiah and Rachel have
already got those covered.
