LiShan, capacity plan is a crystal ball usually required by damagement. If it is pretty enough and is web based, it doesn't necessarily have to have anything in common with reality and accuracy. Capacity plan is like light saber model: your can be prettier then mine, but neither will work. The answer to the question "how much disk will we be using in 6 months" is still: "I have no clue", especially if the application is new to your system. Fortunately, there is a great tool called "Oracle Application Express" which, in combination with good, old DBMS_JOB can do the trick. You can schedule monthly space allocation collection and then present a bar graph on the intranet. You can even allow the damagement to select a month in the future for which it wants to see allocation. It's called "Futurama". May the farce be with you.
