Re: SMON's coalesce & PCTINCREASE

Yes, but ...

    If you make every object in the tablespace you don't have to coalesce. So a good strategy is to make PCTINCREASE 0 for the tablespace and everything in it, set up a default storage clause for the tablespace with INITIAL and NEXT having the same value, and not including storage clauses for your tables and indexes (-- of course you should try to keep the indexes and tables separated -- preferably on separate disk drives).
