Robyn,
I quickly checked my courseware archives, and for sure Cary Millsap talked about uniform extent sizes in 1996. to be more precise: he probably talked about this even before 1996, but my private collection does not contain any hard evidence :-)
Kind regards,
Lex.

Hello,
Can someone tell me when uniform extent sizing became a recommended practice? The 'Stop defragmenting and Start Living' paper has a copyright date of 1998, and I remember implementing it on some databases back in 1999, but I was wondering if it there were earlier references to this approach.
