Re: Tuning Matter ==> Parameter PCT_USED in a Table

Are all the columns completely filled? ie all the "ename" are 10 chars long and all the "job" fields are 9 chars. When you use the varchar2 field it only stores the length _used_.

Hi Ron,
Let's take a example:

SQL> desc emp

Name                    Null?    Type                BYTES

---------------------- -------- ------ ------
EMPNO NOT NULL NUMBER(4) 21 ENAME VARCHAR2(10) 10 JOB VARCHAR2(9) 9 MGR NUMBER(4) 21 HIREDATE DATE 7 SAL NUMBER(7,2) 21 COMM NUMBER(7,2) 21 DEPTNO NUMBER(2) 21

TOTAL=3+(SUM OF COLUMN SIZES)+(# OF COLUMNS < 250)+(3* # OF COLUMNS > 250) So according to ur formula

TOTAL=3+131+8=142 BYTES Is this OK 'coz after analyzing the table with COMPUTE I got AVG_ROW_LEN 40.

Can there be such a HUGE difference ?

Pl. comment.

Thanks,
- Harsh

max(row size) is the sum of all of the columns sizes in the table plus overhead.
The following is the column sizes and the sum formula to calculate the size of a row in a data block.

NUMBER =21
CHAR = COLUMN SIZE
VARCHAR = COLUMN SIZE
DATE = 7 TOTAL=3+(SUM OF COLUMN SIZES)+(# OF COLUMNS < 250)+(3* # OF COLUMNS > 250) This is part of the calculations used to determine the storage needed for a table.

OR: you could analyze you table and use the average row size is you need a general calculation of actual usage.

I've download a presentation talking about Calculating PCT_USED . the formula is quite simple :
PCT_USED + PCT_FREE < 100
PCT_USED = PCT_FREE + 1 row size

but I have no idea to calculate the size of 1 row in a table .

is there anyone who knows to calculate it ? or any alternative formula to calculate PCT_USED ?

Thanks a lot in advance : )
