Weren't those numbers the maximum number of extents for a segment in 7.1
(before unlimited extents)?
Table 7-6 Maximum Number of Extents for Each Database

Typical Block Sizes   Number of Extents 
 2 KB                       121
 4 KB                       255
 8 KB                       504

Niall, 

You obviously missed a cue when planning your database. 

It should have been created with a 32k blocksize, allowing 
2070 extents in your database.  ;) 

Seriously though,  I don't understand the purpose of table 7-6 at all. 

Was this doc written April 1st?

----------------- 

On the other hand it has had some nice howlers in there from time to
time. My favourite reason for running oracle on unix is that according
to the 9i documentation there is a limit on the number of extents for
*the database* of (assuming an 8k block size) 504.

http://tinyurl.com/2l5ye refers. 

Not sure how the data dictionary gets created since I have more than
504 segments owned by sys in my 9.2 database, so I'd have to fit
several segments in the same extent not even all segments should fity
in 1 extent works :(
