What is pct free/pct used/pct increase parameter in segment?..

Answer / Parmanand Kumar

PCTFREE, PCTUSED, and PCTINCREASE are parameters that control the management of extents in an Oracle segment. PCTFREE specifies the percentage of free space left in each block when a new row is inserted. PCTUSED specifies the minimum percentage of used space in a block before it can be considered for reuse. PCTINCREASE determines the incremental allocation for extents.
