What Operating system? _____ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ora_forum Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 3:09 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: AUTOEXTEND Hi All, I have consulting on site and he is trying to convince our management to use AUTOEXTEND almost on all datafiles and monitor on FS. Could you give me examples why we should not do AUTOEXTENTS? I'm thinking about: 1. Keep all db files 4 GB in size for better maintenance... Something else?
