Once you set to uniform extents, pctincrease will default to 0.
Most Oracle gurus advise to just use uniform extents for all situations.

Subject: Locally Managed Tablespaces
This is probably pretty basic, so please keep in mind that Im a developer and Im trying to pick up more of the DBA side.
I am assuming that the preferred way to create a tablespace in 8i, 9i is as follows(this is out of OTN docs)
CREATE TABLESPACE lmtbsb DATAFILE '/u02/oracle/data/lmtbsb01.dbf' SIZE 50M
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 128K; When you use Uniform Extents you know longer have to worry about tablespace fragmentation correct? You also do not need to worry minimum,initial,and next extents correct?
What are some rules of thumb for setting PCTINCREASE(there is another PCT setting too right)? A DBA I used to work with said you should almost always use zero for PCTINCREASE. Could someone please tell me why? The default is like 40?
Is there a time when I should not use Uniform Extents?
Thanks... hope this isnt too basic.
