Re: Re.systables.

Hi,

Thanks guys for all your valuable suggestions, I will keep in
mind the guidance/instruction related to extents of systables
its very rare were we change the structure of the database/tables.

Right now we don't have any issues with our normal/apps tables
because all of our tables are below 8 extents, in fact we
recently re-arranged all the big tables to extent 1 (I think the
extents double on every 17th extent automatically).

Thanks again.
Sushil...
