Okay, so I'm working with a new client, and remember that the admin side is not my strong suit, but...

Amongst many other questionable settings, they have a 40M initial exten setting for their primary data tablespace. Actually, they have 2 primary tablespaces: a large and a small one - the large one has an initial extent of 100M!!!!

Am I fully showing my ignorance or is this truly insane? I mean, it *is* a DSS database, but there are still some little code tables with less than 100 records that are in a tablespace with an initial extent size of 40M!!

What could possibly be the reasoning behind such a thing?

Help!
