Re: LOCALLY MANAGED EXTENT PERFORMANCE

Hi,

One more performance-related thing with relying purely on autoextend is, 
that if your segments need to allocate a new extent and has to extend the 
datafile for it, then your session has to wait until the datafile is resized 
before it can use any blocks of this new extent. There are quite a few 
systems for which those even few-second hangs are unacceptable or should be 
avoided.
