If I have 2 datafiles attached to a tablespace, and BOTH are set to AUTOEXTEND and BOTH are set to unlimited, will Oracle know to extend both datafiles, or only extend one of them. I have read through many manuals, but none of them answer this question. As to why this is set like this, well, it’s an inherited system that I am starting to tune.
It depends on how much disk space you have (among other things). ‘Unlimited’ in this context means ‘to the largest supported table size on your platform’ not ‘grab up all the disk space even if you can’t use it.’ If you have enough disk space for two maximum-sized datafiles, you should be fine.
Also (possibly dumb question) since this is an existing application, why can’t you just look and see what it did?
