I posted this on one of the other forums and Thiru suggested I post it here. He gave me an alternate view he got from somewhere, but that was worse than the orginal. I add Thiru's view at bottom

One of our DBAs just took a performance class from Kevin Loney. He reviewed one of her Perfstat reports and suggested we re-write the query below.
Gotta say I was suprised when I saw trace.

DB is 8.1.7.4 with PS HR&Payroll The largest tablespaces and indexes were converted to LMTs

What would you suggest? This kicks off a page if any rows are returned.

Thanks

select owner
,tablespace_name
,segment_name
,segment_type
,extents
,max_extents
from dba_segments
where extents >= (max_extents-20)
and segment_type not in ('CACHE','ROLLBACK', 'TEMPORARY')
order by owner
,tablespace_name
,segment_name

Larry,
I just tested this ,again on a different 9i instance, and the response from dba_segments_alt was slightly better than dba_segments.

On a database with about 14000 segments, it took about 4 seconds,compared to 6 secs on dba_segments. But the consistent gets(ie buffer reads) was *always* lesser than dba_segments.

As I mentioned earlier, try the dba_segments_alt without filtering rollback,temporary,cache as they are already excluded. Also pls skip the order by clause.

Also since this is locally managed, the extent info is not readily cached ,but again you will be running this query once in a day ?

Thriu, actually I think they're running this every 15 minutes. Thanks

Wow!, thats too frequent ,if you ask me. If you have sized your extents properly(ie the Uniform extent size) and set MAXEXTENTS sufficiently large, do you really need to run such a script on dba_segments so frequently ?

Your run time statistics(in the earlier post) shows a lot of wait time(ie waiting on some event). You may want to enable sql_trace at level 8 or 12 and find out what its waiting for.
