Hi,

I have a general question about tablespace creation.

Is it better to create a small tablespace auto-extendable to a (defined) maxsize or to create it with a "static" size.

Ex:

alter tablespace foo add datafile 'mydbf' size 10240M autoextend off;

or

alter tablespace foo add datafile 'mydbf' size 1M autoextend on maxsize 10240M;

I tried to find a Note on metalink but failed.

What is your opinion ?
