RE: MINEXTENTS > 1 ?

Haha.. I guess that there is a bit more typing involved..

But all I want to say is.. using this method (alter table.. allocate extent..) is more flexible than to set minextents.

What happen if in the future you want to truncate the whole table in the future? You will not left bunch of extents that you don't want. But of course, you can always drop and recreate the table... :P and that's a lot of work also! ; )
