Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: DB Sizing
The short answer is you have to make an estimate for the initial load and
growth for every table in your application. One you have the table row
counts you can estimate the table and index sizes. You will need to allow
overhead for growth of each tablespace, for sort (temp tablespace), and for
transaction support (rollback tablespace).
The overhead also needs to consider any planned application additions.
Besides space for the database itself you need space for at least one set of OS level full file backups and space to hold export files.
