Morning Nuno,

>> Hmmm, what about other considerations?

sort_area_size?

size or

More than likeley we should - I haven't been able to experiment yet - too busy with new servers.

>> one.

Tru, why not - I said it depends. We have a number of tables that are too small for a 10 MB tablespace but too big for 64KB - assuming the 500 extent limit. The users fear that too much space is wasted, but then again, I could leave it in the 64KB tablespace and just have more than my threshold number of extents. (I am talking theory here - our main app HAS to have its tables in one of 5 tablespaces and the names are hardcoded into the scripts - unfortunately.)

>> Yikes! Nope, no way. Too large. If you have objects THAT large,

True, but some things might not partition very easily.

As you say, it is an interseting subject and will no doubt throw up some conflicting advice :o)
