Datafiles, autoextend and database size

edited Oct 30, 2013 8:34AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 10 commentsAnswered
I have just noticed that one of the new databases, created with dbca tool, has 1 datafile that is of size 4GB while I know there is less data than that.  The database in question most likely will never reach above 4-5 GB. Also autoextend for the datafiel is set to no and maxbytes is 0.

I was wondering if the starting size should have been less then 4GB, maxsize should be 4GB, and autoextend should be set to yes.

Should I make that change? What would be impacted? Are there any advantages of doing that?

Howdy, Stranger!
