SORT_SPACEMAP_SIZE

Synopsis

Value: operating system dependent

Default: operating system dependent

Specifies the size, in bytes, of the sort space map. This parameter should be adjusted only if very large indexes exist. A sort automatically increases its space map if necessary, but it does not necessarily do so when it will make best use of disk storage. The sort makes optimal use of disk storage if SORT_SPACEMAP_SIZE is set to total_sort_bytes = (number_of_records) * [sum_of_average_column_sizes + (2 * number_of_columns)]. Obsolete with Oracle8i.
