Hi Dave, I've never been a fan of multiple sized tablespaces because of the complication & segregation it introduces to your buffer cache. I would recommend just looking at the top queries on the table and if they are consistent (e.g. not 1-time queries), then tweak them or add indexes, or hints, stored outlines, etc. in order to optimize them. How can the PK not have an associated index? I didn't know such a thing could exist. From the 9i doc (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96590/adg 05itg.htm): "All enabled unique and primary keys require corresponding indexes" Regards, Brandon Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message or attachments hereto.
