Not necessarily so. I have a demo that suggests that auto-allocate *can* st=
ill suffer from the classic fragmentation problem of 'got enough free space=
 but can't allocate an extent', Richard Foote has a subtly different exampl=
e that suggests that the circumstances under which this occurs are not easi=
ly predictable (i.e sometimes oracle will use small gaps and sometimes it w=
on't). I certainly haven't worked out what is going on anyway, and to be ho=
nest I'm so enamoured of uniform size that I probably won't. (SYSTEM should=
 always be autoextend right?)

I attach a log of my example, the script is downloadable/runnable from http=
://www.niall.litchfield.dial.pipex.com/scripts/tests/auto_alloc_frag.sql an=
d assumes windows and 9i (or whenever drop tablespace including contents an=
d datafiles came in).=20
