Table or index with lots of extents

edited Jan 30, 2013 11:52AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered
Back in Oracle 8 and dictionary managed tablespace, usually it is not recommanded to have table or index have lots of extents. I remember we had to do export and recreat the table with larger extent size.

With version 11g, I understand everything is not locally managed. So, if I have table or index that has lots of extents, is that still a concern or not? Is it recommended that I change the max extents to unlimited? Please advise. Thank you very much.
