Migrating tables to tablespaces with larger extent sizes

JayDee41Feb 25 2020 — edited Feb 25 2020

Hi folks,

As part of a migration operation, we have an opportunity to move tables and lobs to new tablespaces.

This is in part for defrag operation and other reasons.

The current initial extent in our tablespaces is 65k.. Doesn't seem much...

Ive always believed that indexes benefit from larger extent sizes.

Is the same true for our tables and lobs?

Should I suggest that we increase the INITIAL/NEXT extent sizes of the migration tablespaces to 1M?

Unfortunately there is no capacity planning and instead Im looking for a more 'general rule of thumb'.
Otherwise I'll just create the new migration tablespaces with the same INITIAL/NEXT extent sizes as is current to be safe.

Any thoughts or advice very much appreciated.

Thanks,

jd

TABLESPACE CREATION SYNTAX

CREATE TABLESPACE DATAOWNER_TABLES

DATAFILE '+N11DSM_D_DATA' SIZE 5G

REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON

NEXT 1M

MAXSIZE UNLIMITED

EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL

UNIFORM SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO;  <-- any reason why ASSM should not be used?
