Hi,

I'm confused by the way some of my extents are allocated in Oracle. I've talked to Oracle reps, I thing I've posted here before and jsut when I thought I got an understanring - ooops, everything is gone. So I'll give it another try. I have a table with initial set to 32K and next set to 1M. This table is being loaded on a daily basis via Ab initio. The load is done by SQL*loader in direct mode in parallel (I believe it is 8 ways). Now all the segments that have been created for this table (besides the 1st one) are 16K. Where does this size come from? I thought it should use the NEXT parameter for the new extents, but it doesn't. Can someone give me some pointers?

thanks

Gene
