    Is it advisable to set max extents to unlimited?

    I would suggest looking at LMT's with extent management handled by the system itself.

    There is no problem per se with setting maxextents unlimited; what would you do if you have to store LOB's in the DB itselg.

    Allowing the extents to be handled by the system on an LMT could lead to a fragmentation problem too.

    This is possible, and can give good result only if database has
    DB_BLOCK_SIZE MORE THEN 2KB. If not, then oracle can't allocate
    more then 121 extents for db objects.

    In this case u should recreate table with more value in NEXT parameter.
    -------------------------------------------
    # of extents depend from DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameters.

    UNTRUE.
    I know that exactly, because:
    1) i had this problem a couple years ago with Oracle 8.0.5(may be 8.0.4)
    2) i try to send link about this topic, but not today (this link at home). I hope tomorrow.

    Table of # extents (depend from DB_BLOCK_SIZE)

    Block Size (KB) Maximum Number of Extents
    2 -- 121
    4 -- 255
    8 -- 504
    16 -- 1032
