You may be hitting the situation where Oracle rounds up to a predetermined extent size (multiple of 5 blocks ???) regardless of the request. One thing to remember is that the initial and next are 'suggestions' and not law. The initial extent for any table/index is 2 blocks, even if you create the table with a single byte as the initial extent.

Hey guys;
  Here is a strange one.

  I have an 8.0.5 database where I have exported a table. Compress Extents was set to No.

  On another 8.0.5 database I have pre-created the same table with an Initial and a Next extent of 4M (4194304 Bytes).

  At this point I imported the table into the new database.

  Looking at the next extent on the newly imported table I see that its value is now 4218880.

I did not think it was possible for an import to change the attributes of a table if it was pre-created.

Can anyone shed any light on what might be happening here or if this is 'Normal' operation ?

Thanks

Kevin
