		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I talked about some of the things to consider when adding space to a tablespace using auto-extend for datafiles. This of course isn&#8217;t the only way to add space to a tablespace. You could simply add more datafiles. Indeed nearly a decade ago (scary!) I wrote The final reason for multiple datafiles (to spread [...]]]></description>

Oracle published a Note  1050193.1 that makes the quite extraordinary claim that Sequences are not guaranteed to generate all consecutive values starting with the &#8216;START WITH&#8217; value. It&#8217;s absolutely true that sequences don&#8217;t guarantee no gaps &#8211; but [...]]]></description>
