simple question on growth monitoring

[mrchrispy]

I'm writing a simple procedure that will run nightly to gather some basic table information, I want to be able to answer questions like "How many record were in so and so table 2 months ago?".......I know this will have been done before but I'm learning and it never hurts to get your hands dirty

It inserts the information into a table and I'm currently collecting the following data:-

instance name
table name
row count
date
no of extents
segment size

Can you guys think of anything else (that relates to a table) that might be useful???

LAST_ANALYZED maybe?

would be good to know:

1. number of max extents allowed for this table to make sure table can extend and the table is not close to reaching max extents.
2. make sure next extent can fit in the tablespace.
