RE: Problem in setting PCTFREE and PCTUSED

Andrea,

If it were me and I had tables that were reloaded every day, I would set the following:

PCTFREE=5 : Since you are not doing deletes & inserts, keep this small PCTUSED=95 : Since you are not doing updates, pack the data right in tight. PCTINCREASE=0 : I ALWAYS set this to 0.

and, make sure that the INITIAL extent size was large enough to hold all of the data.

Hope this helps.

Hello !
After having defined all the tables, now I have to parametrize each table. I have some tables that every day must be deleted and reloaded through sql loader.
I think to set PCTFREE = 0, but I don't know if I have to specify a particular value for PCTUSED.
Anybody can give an advice about which value set PCTUSED ?

Thanks in advance,
Andrea
