tablespace AUTOEXTEND ON Next Size

AUTOEXTEND ON Next Size

UPDATE 28-Feb-11 : Apparently, in 11gR1, Bug 8318050 affects the behaviour of
Autoextend On datafiles such that the NEXT size specified may not be honoured. See
Oracle Support Article#8318050.8

In a CREATE TABLESPACE command, the DATAFILE clause is the Physical Specification
component.

In pre- 9i/10g OMF manner, the DATAFILE must be specified. A (initial) filesize must
also be specified. However, Autoextend's NEXT size is not mandatory and Oracle can
"default". Very unfortunately, the default AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT size is 1 Database
block (based on the blocksize of the tablespace).

But if you create your Tablespace using OMF (i.e. where "db_create_file_dest" is
configured), then Oracle defaults the initial size to 100MB and *also* defaults
the AUTOEXTEND to ON with a of 100MB ! That is much neater.

Why is the default 1 Database block bad ? Because when the datafile is full, Oracle
will extend it 1 block at-a-time, making a call to the OS to add 1 block on each
occassion. Obviously, even if you are extending a table or index with an Extent
 of 64KB, Oracle has to make 8 calls to the OS (with a datafile block size of 8KB).
That is where you will see "data file init write" waits.

In the example below, the (automatic) datafile for Tablespace AN_OMF_TBS get's
created with both the initial and increment at 100MB and AutoExtend ON. However,
 for Tablespace REGULAR_TBS, I have to specify the initial size for the datafile.
If I do not specify AutoExtend, the file is created with AutoExtend OFF. For the
third tablespace, called ANOTHER_TBS, when I designate AutoExtend ON but do not
specify the incremental size, Oracle defaults it to 1 Oracle Block.

You would be well-adviced to remember that when you create or add a non-OMF datafile,
you should specify the Increment size with the AutoExtend ON. Else, you might suffer
the overheads of Oracle having to make multiple calls to the OS whenever extending the datafile (imagine extending a datafile 1 block at each call for an extent of 64MB !)
