MAX EXTENTS for a table

706055Aug 18 2009 — edited Aug 18 2009
Hello Guru's

I am working on oracle express 10 G on windows , This is my test machine. I am a beginner to oracle Dba activities,

Problem:
I want to restrict the size of a table (say max upto 400k)

My Approach:
1. I create a Tablepsace with uniform extent size (40K each)
2. I created a table in this tablespace with max extents 10 ( so that 40K * 10 = 400K)

SCOTT@xe>CREATE TABLESPACE TB
  2   DATAFILE 'F:\Oracle\oradata\XE\TB.DBF' SIZE 100M
  3   EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
  4   UNIFORM SIZE 40K
  5   ONLINE ;

Tablespace created.

SCOTT@xe> 
SCOTT@xe>DROP USER G CASCADE ;

User dropped.

SCOTT@xe>CREATE USER G IDENTIFIED BY G DEFAULT TABLESPACE TB ;

User created.

SCOTT@xe>ALTER USER G QUOTA UNLIMITED ON TB;

User altered.

SCOTT@xe>GRANT CREATE SESSION , CREATE TABLE TO G;

Grant succeeded.

SCOTT@xe>CONNECT G/G@xe
Connected.

G@xe>CREATE TABLE t ( A number) TABLESPACE TB storage (minextents 1 maxextents 10);

Table created.

G@xe>SELECT SEGMENT_NAME, MIN_EXTENTS, MAX_EXTENTS , SEGMENT_TYPE, TABLESPACE_NAME, BLOCKS
  2  FROM USER_SEGMENTS  ;

SEGMENT_NAME                                                                      MIN_EXTENTS MAX_EXTENTS SEGMENT_TYPE       TABLESPACE_NAME                    BLOCKS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- ----------- ------------------ ------------------------------ ----------
T                                                                                           1  2147483645 TABLE              TB                                      5

G@xe>
Issue is:

I want the maximun extents that could be llocated to this table must be 10 , BUT from user_segments I could see MAX_EXTENTS = 2147483645 (default value).
When i pump data into this table MAX_EXTENTS exceeds 10 (i.e user Defined value)

I have no idea why this is the case;
