Re: dc_used_extents ,dc_free_extents and dc_histogram_defs

I believe that we should start using Postgres or MySQL, not to infringe on oracle secrets. After all, those secrets must be mighty precious when they're protecting them from their own customers. I believe that the whole thing is about giving consultants time to master oracle 10 before releasing it, and then start exerting pressure to migrate, so the chosen few will skim some dough. This is a radical departure from oracle behavior until now, where the software was available for testing and learning long before it was suitable for production. This relative openmindedness of the Oracle Corp. was one of the reasons that Oracle has become so popular. Some bright marketing talent decided it should change and I really do not intend to go with the flow. Fortunately, there are other databases and oracle's behavior is motivating me to start giving them serious considerations. If nobody was using oracle, their secrets would be perfectly safe.
