Is there going to be a detrimental effect to performance if tables are created in thousands of extents with very small (0.1MB) extent sizes.

Also how do you tell of a table has statistics created and when they were updated?

Thanks

Try using DBA_EXTENTS

select segment_name,tablespace_name,count(segment_name) "No of Extents",
sum(bytes)/1024/1024 "Size MB" from dba_extents
group by segment_name,tablespace_name

Collect the stats for that particualr sessiions...
or trace the SQL Statements from V$sql_area for that particular sessiion and find the bottelnecks and
take apporpriate steps ...by creating indexes...

As long as you are using LMT, thousands of extents will not have a detrimental effect.

USER_TABLES view has the information on the statistics for a table.
