Hi All,

Presently I have been assigned a task of assigning storage parameters for Indexes in Oracle 9.2.0.

As there is an option for using Locally managed tablespaces for which we dont have to specify storage parameters but on certain recommendations I have been told that DMT will be used and storage parameters are required for Indexes.

My question to you Experts:- Is there any way by which I can get optimal storage parameters for Indexes like Initial Extent,Next Extent,Pctfree,Pctused,Inittrans,Maxtrans.

Can anybody provide me with the guidelines that for an Index how the optimal storage parameters are to be specified.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

Milind.

Ask them to prove their recomendations.
LMT is always better than DMT in every aspect.
If you are using a DMT, oracle recomends to set all storage parameters in Tablespace level
(and NOT in table/index level becuase table level settings will overwrite tablespace settings).

To avoid fragmentation always have a pctincrease=0 and initial=next=SomeConstantValue.

Please go through this MOST WIDELY READ document ( which you may have already done) titled

From the 10g documentation:
[b]Note:[/b]
Oracle strongly recommends that you create only locally managed tablespaces. Locally managed tablespaces are much more efficiently managed than dictionary-managed tablespaces. The creation of new dictionary-managed tablespaces is scheduled for desupport.
