I agree, I am leaving the SYSTEM tablespace alone. Hands off.

Kimberly,

I would agree with you if an experienced DBA makes the decision to change the storage parameters, and they absolutely know what the benfits would be.

Generally speaking though, I think changing anything in the SYSTEM tablespace is bad practice.

Actually, I would not ignore the storage parameters of the SYSTEM tablespace.
There are legit reasons to change the pctincrease to 0. If you leave it at 50 then SMON (or PMON can't remember at the moment) will try to coalesce the tablespace every time it wakes up. Its work it has to do that it really does
not need to do. Better off scheduling to happen at your time schedule.

Ken,

Do yourself a favor. Ignore the SYSTEM tablespace storage params. The ONLY thing you should concern yourself in regard with the SYSTEM tablespace is if the file needs to extend itself because it is too full. All other storage parameters are created by Oracle at database create time and should not be changed.

For other tablespaces, you can change this parameter anytime after the tablespace has been created. It will not, however, change existing extents, but will be used when new extents are allocated.

Hope this helps.

Is there any way that I can change the PCTINCREASE for the SYSTEM tablespace without recreating the DB? For some reason the person who created the DB I am working on set PCTINCREASE to 50 (or didn't did not include this parameter). I am using this DB for a data conversion so there is no software connected to it and in turn no users on it.

Thanks,
