In the first case, the row is too large to fit into one data block when it is first inserted. In this case, Oracle stores the data for the row in a chain of data blocks one or more reserved for that segment. Row chaining in these cases is unavoidable. However, in the second case, a row that originally fit into one data block is updated so that the overall row length increases, and the block's free space is already completely filled.
In this case, Oracle migrates the data for the entire row to a new data block, assuming the entire row can fit in a new block. Oracle preserves the original row piece of a migrated row to point to the new block containing the migrated row.
The rowid of a migrated row does not change. Specify these parameters when you create or alter a table or cluster which has its own data segment. The PCTFREE parameter sets the minimum percentage of a data block to be reserved as free space for possible updates to rows that already exist in that block.
The PCTUSED parameter sets the minimum percentage of a block that can be used for row data plus overhead before new rows are added to the block. Until this value is achieved, Oracle uses the free space of the data block only for updates to rows already contained in the data block.
Figure illustrates this. Figure illustrates the interaction of these two parameters. In a newly allocated data block, the space available for inserts is the block size minus the sum of the block overhead and free space PCTFREE. Updates to existing data can use any available space in the block. Therefore, updates can reduce the available space of a block to less than PCTFREE , the space reserved for updates but not accessible to inserts.
For each data and index segment, Oracle maintains one or more free lists — lists of data blocks that have been allocated for that segment's extents and have free space greater than PCTFREE. These blocks are available for inserts. Multiple free lists for each segment can reduce contention for free lists when concurrent inserts take place.
If it is, then the block goes to the beginning of the transaction free list, and it is the first of the available blocks to be used in that transaction. When the transaction commits, free space in the block becomes available for other transactions. A n extent is a logical unit of database storage space allocation made up of a number of contiguous data blocks.
One or more extents in turn make up a segment. When the existing space in a segment is completely used, Oracle allocates a new extent for the segment. When you create a table, Oracle allocates to the table's data segment an initial extent of a specified number of data blocks. Although no rows have been inserted yet, the Oracle data blocks that correspond to the initial extent are reserved for that table's rows.
If the data blocks of a segment's initial extent become full and more space is required to hold new data, Oracle automatically allocates an incremental extent for that segment. An incremental extent is a subsequent extent of the same or greater size than the previously allocated extent in that segment. For maintenance purposes, the header block of each segment contains a directory of the extents in that segment. Storage parameters expressed in terms of extents define every segment.
Storage parameters apply to all types of segments. They control how Oracle allocates free database space for a given segment. If you do not specify a table's storage parameters, then it uses the default storage parameters of the tablespace. You can have dictionary managed tablespaces, which rely on data dictionary tables to track space utilization, or locally managed tablespaces, which use bitmaps instead of data dictionary tables to track used and free space.
Because of the better performance and easier manageability of locally managed tablespaces, the default for non- SYSTEM permanent tablespaces is locally managed whenever the type of extent management is not explicitly specified.
A tablespace that manages its extents locally can have either uniform extent sizes or variable extent sizes that are determined automatically by the system. For uniform extents, you can specify an extent size or use the default size, which is 1 MB. Ensure that each extent contains at least five database blocks, given the database block size. Temporary tablespaces that manage their extents locally can only use this type of allocation. For system-managed extents, Oracle determines the optimal size of additional extents, with a minimum extent size of 64 KB.
If the tablespaces are created with 'segment space management auto', and if the database block size is 16K or higher, then Oracle manages segment size by creating extents with a minimum size of 1M. This is the default for permanent tablespaces. They can, however, be specified at the segment level. After the segment size is computed, internal algorithms determine the size of each extent. Oracle Database Administrator's Guide.
Oracle uses different algorithms to allocate extents, depending on whether they are locally managed or dictionary managed. With locally managed tablespaces, Oracle looks for free space to allocate to a new extent by first determining a candidate datafile in the tablespace and then searching the datafile's bitmap for the required number of adjacent free blocks.
If that datafile does not have enough adjacent free space, then Oracle looks in another datafile. The Oracle Database provides a Segment Advisor that helps you determine whether an object has space available for reclamation based on the level of space fragmentation within the object.
Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for guidelines on reclaiming segment space. Exceptions to this include the following:. When extents are freed, Oracle modifies the bitmap in the datafile for locally managed tablespaces or updates the data dictionary for dictionary managed tablespaces to reflect the regained extents as available space. Any data in the blocks of freed extents becomes inaccessible.
As long as a nonclustered table exists or until you truncate the table, any data block allocated to its data segment remains allocated for the table. Oracle inserts new rows into a block if there is enough room. Even if you delete all rows of a table, Oracle does not reclaim the data blocks for use by other objects in the tablespace. After you drop a nonclustered table, this space can be reclaimed when other extents require free space.
Oracle reclaims all the extents of the table's data and index segments for the tablespaces that they were in and makes the extents available for other schema objects in the same tablespace. Also, the optimization of sharing common subexpression evaluations across different evaluation extents is easier with this lifetime information. Hatched lines show approximate extents of central nature reserve that is covered by primary or tall secondary rain forests.

Most treatments have, to varying extents, shown good results, particularly in the short term. In early successional stages, low species diversity, homogeneous tree heights and small crown extents result in a smooth canopy surface. All three quality criteria are not easily improved by the grower and are weather-dependent to different extents.
To varying extents, the local nightclub, pub, town hall, or council remains crucial in helping to articulate knowledges and practices existing within their own 'reason'. See all examples of extent.

Sbspaces An sbspace is a logical storage unit composed of one or more chunks that store smart large objects. Plogspace A plogspace is a logical storage unit that is composed of one chunk that stores the physical log. When the physical log is in the plogspace, the database server increases the size of the physical log as needed to improve performance.
Extspaces An extspace is a logical name associated with an arbitrary string that signifies the location of external data. The resource that the extspace references depends on a user-defined access method for accessing its contents. Databases A database is a logical storage unit that contains tables and indexes.
Each database also contains a system catalog that tracks information about many of the elements in the database, including tables, indexes, SPL routines, and integrity constraints.
Tables In relational database systems, a table is a row of column headings together with zero or more rows of data values.
The row of column headings identifies one or more columns and a data type for each column. The default standard table is like a table created in earlier versions without a special keyword specified. Tblspaces Database server administrators sometimes must track disk use by a particular table.
A tblspace contains all the disk space allocated to a given table or table fragment if the table is fragmented. A separate tblspace contains the disk space allocated for the associated index. Table fragmentation and data storage The fragmentation feature gives you more control over where the database stores data. You are not limited to specifying the locations of individual tables and indexes. Both of these methods will server to coalesce extents, but the CTAS method almost always run faster.
