Aye! Is this a myth-in-forming or what? LMT does NOT "make it impossible to have fragmentation". It just makes fragmentation unimportant. But it's still possible to have portions of your objects all over the tablespace in multiple "chunks" (previously called "extents"). That was the "classic" definition of "fragmentation".

BTW, just got abused by the local "guru" at my current project for *daring* to suggest they should worry with other problems and leave "fragmentation" and "having it all in one extent" alone.

Of course the small detail that we're running 9ir2 with LMT went completely unnoticed. Thank God!... ;)

I reckon it's very clearcut....
