By setting proper size category during creation of the table you inform the database about expected size of disk space that should be resreved. If you will some day exceed the size database will reserve new buffer for this data. In this way you table will become chunked on disk.

Hi, Size category has given only for initial location setting in DB. example: if you select 0 (data records expected 0 to 4500) that means in initial period the table size in back-end table is highest 4500 data records. And when data reached maximum limit then again in DB that table will allocate 4500 data records and so on.

Hi Rahul,

It is Nothing but the expected or initial that is allocated in the DB, say you have set the size for 4500 records, If this size exceeds the database will automatically allocate space for another 4500 records and so on.

Thanks,

Sundar.

Hi Rahul,

Size Category just defines how many records the table will hold. It is dynamic in nature i.e. if number of records increases in table then size category changes.

Just go to following link. You'll get the idea.
