There is no problem with using autoextend, as long as you have
reasonable limits.  Otherwise it goes from a DBA problem to a DBA and SA
problem.  I use scripts to monitor space usage in our databases.  I turn
autoextend on for tablespaces that have growth rates that are difficult
to estimate - but I don't set them to unlimited growth.
This is one way to help keep track of how fast the database is growing.

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?

Thanks.
