Re: Efficient way to monitor table growth...

In general, you don't need to know the rowcounts if you know the typical size of a row and the total space usage for a table/index. An analyze will get you these figures as a starting point.

After that, you need only track the object's high water mark using the dbms_space package to track growth on a frequent, but low-cost basis. (there are some samples on my website).

|Hi DBA's
|
|Does an Oracle Stored Procedure or function exist that returns the
row count
|by table in each tablespace?
|I've observed that one of our production tablespaces is has only 8%
free
|space. Perhaps it could be fragmented. I'll have to find a script
that can
|provide these statistics. I know I'll need to add another datafile to
the
|tablespace soon.
|However, I'd like to find out which are the active tables in each
tablespace
|and track the row insert growth on a daily basis.
