Just a note on the topic of PCTINCREASE. According to the book "Advanced Oracle Tuning and Administration", you should set PCTINCREASE at the tablespace level to a non-zero value for all tablespaces except SYSTEM, temporary, and rollback. You should then specify a PCTINCREASE of zero for the tables as they are created. The non-zero PCTINCREASE at the tablespace level allows the SMON process to coalesce free exents automatically. In 7.3 you can also do this via ALTER TABLESPACE tspace-name COALESCE;
