There is no magic formula to sizing extents for dynamic tables. The 3 steps to getting it right might be... 1. Calculate the initial sizes, based on the requirement. 2. After some time, recalculate these sizes. 3. Continue adjusting the sizes to fit the requirement. Its kinda like what being a DBA is about, in a funny peculiar sorta way ;-) Regards, Tom Hogarty Performance Analyst Pyramid Technology Corp
