Hello,

Though I have read about Extents in various books, as a new Oracle DBA
using 8.17 I still do not grasp how I need to manage them.

1. Basically, what are common Extent related issues and what are the
actions as a DBA I need to know to address them?

2. Any absolute Do's and Dont's on managing Extents?


Thanks for your advice,

Michael
