Re: Bitmap Header in a Uniform LMT?

Getting no responses on this, I created a test 9.0 database on my NT 4.0 workstation, with a block size of 4K. My observations are :

While creating a LMT with uniform extents of size 16K, the minimum datafile size has to be 25K. With uniform extents of size 32K, the datafile size has to be more than 41K, and with uniform extents of size 64K, the minimum datafile size is 73K. Thus, the size of the datafile should be atleast 2 blocks more than the uniform extent size.

SQL> create tablespace mult

  3           'd:\mult2.dbf' size 41K,

  5           'd:\mult4.dbf' size 128K,
  6           'd:\mult5.dbf' size 1024K,

And right now, I have the answer to all my questions. Also, I strongly recommend visiting http://www.performance-insight.com/ora3_back.html and look at the topics on locally managed tablespaces. I was impressed. That was what helped me get to the right answers.

I asked this question the other day, but got no replies. I make one more attempt and rephrase the question. A curious mind wants to know " Assuming a block size of 2K, what would be the size of the bitmap header if I create a uniform LMT with datafiles of size 32K, 64K, 100K, 1M and 64M?"

Metalink has not given me any definite answer as yet, and the notes there have confused moi.

Raj
