Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: datafile sizing question
AHA!I was going to go with 2000M so that's beautiful, 2001M would work
perfectly without going over. I don't mind "wasting" less than a meg.
I love the logic everyone here at work has. "disk is cheap", don't worry about it. Except every time I ask for more disk, I hear "it's too expensive"
