Yep, it can ;)
But in 9.2 it's supported and in 10g it's default anyway...
Btw, the dba_extents performance problem you mentioned earlier probably comes from the fact that in LMT configuration you can get detailed extent information only from the segment header itself, this means at least one consistent get per segment which you're querying. Given that lots of segment headers aren't in buffer cache, a count(*) on dba_extents may cause thousands of physical IO's, recursive calls and latching...
SQL> set autot trace stat
SQL> select count(*) from dba_extents;
1 row selected.
Statistics
41228 recursive calls
1 db block gets
20799 consistent gets
3389 physical reads
0 redo size
380 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
511 bytes received via SQL*Net from client
2 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client
0 sorts (memory)
0 sorts (disk)
1 rows processed
So, dba_extents is a quite dangerous view to query in LMT environment.
Tanel.
