RE: Capacity Planning Methods?

I also grab freespace from dba_free_space, dump it into a table, and watch the deltas there, too. It helps for watching less predictable object growth, like perhaps with an index. Although my procedure is tablespace-oriented, so it won't give detail as to exactly what's doing all the growing.

If you'd like, I could post the smallish 68-line procedure and the table create that I use to do this. There are perhaps better ways of doin g this, but it works for me in 8.1.7 on dictionary managed tablespaces.
