We are having a problem with our development database. It seems to take forever when we create tables or indexes. I thought that it might be that the default tablespace for the user next extent parmeter was to small. We have autoextensible data files and we had a next extent of 32k. I made it 5m but it did not make a difference. Can anyone help me out with this? It is Oracle 8.1.7, dictionary manage tablespaces.
