Robyn,

As far as I was concerned, it became standard practice back in version 6 or 7. I *never* liked the pctincrease parameter - it never made any sense to me.

But I would guess that it generally became accepted sometime around when the paper was published. It was a basic grass-roots-ground-swell type of deal that the paper finally formally published, and Oracle agreed to after the fact.

Subject: Stop defragmenting and start ...

Hello,

Can someone tell me when uniform extent sizing became a recommended practice? The 'Stop defragmenting and Start Living' paper has a copyright date of 1998, and I remember implementing it on some databases back in 1999, but I was wondering if it there were earlier references to this approach.
