There was an article written a few years ago talking about certain cases where you can have tablespace fragmentation when using ASSM. I think Niall Litchfield wrote this(I could be wrong). I believe this was due to deletes. I am not using deletes, but will be dropping alot of partitions and am wondering whether I may have problems with this down the road. Here is my scenario.
- initally go to production with 500 GB of data
- This will grow to between 25-50 TBs over 15 months.
- We will load 1/10th of the data/day into the database. So at 500GB we will load 50 GBs/day at 25-50 TBs we will load 2.5 - 5 TBs/day.
- tables are partitioned by date with hourly partitions.
- We will drop partitions that are 10 days old.
So we are recycling data every 10 days while our database size is growing. Does this scenario have any risk of tablespace fragmentation with ASSM? We may use ASM, but I don't think that matters in this case.
