Because I am typing too fast, and doing too much at once and making stupid posts to Oracle-L. We're having massive PITAs because of poor legacy sizing, cowboy development and biz requirements, and I am frenetically, cautiously, nervously, emphatically moving all sorts of tables from DD to LMT as fast as I can. Mostly because I hate being woken up at 1,3,4,5,6AM in the morning because Skippy made a test table of 1000 extents in a badly-beaten up instance and fet/uet is so cluster/fragged/extended that I get major wait events on "select ... from fet$" and the like. It all kind of runs together in my head. Anyways, after the next several weeks, we're going sun=>ibm, 8174=>9205, mostly DM/some LMT to all LMT, and then life will be only partially insane after that. *sigh* -----Original Message----- From: Jared Still [mailto:jkstill@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 5:37 PM To: rmohan@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: DROP LMT TBS internals. Not sure I follow Ross. How would UET$ and FET$ be affected if LMT's are in use?
