Re: Change PCTINCREAE for SYSTEM Tablespace

Hi Ken,

If no one has told you yet, all you have to do is to use the "alter tablespace" command, for example:

alter tablespace system default storage (pctincrease 0);

select tablespace_name, pct_increase from dba_tablespaces where tablespace_name='SYSTEM';

You shouldn't need to rebuild your database, (e.g. your control files) to reset this tablespace storage parameter. Hope this resolves your problem for you there.
