In this case, I would use a uniform extent size -- you know approximately how large the data is today. Since there is no measureable overhead for having multiple segments, I would go with something much smaller than a 12MB extent size -- 512K to 1MB, depending on what your OS read size is.

All,

I'm being given a requirement to store a BLOB column in the database. I'm being told that the average size of the file (it's a PDF) is 12,000 K. I'm assuming that I should store this column in a separate tablespace from the table data. If I use an LMT tablespace, what should I use for the uniform allocation size? Should I use 12,000 K or something larger to store one PDF per segment? Am I all wrong here?

thanks in advance
