OE 11.7.4 on Linux.
As per best advice -- I have always set-up Storage Areas as Type 2 -- and appreciate the various reasons why Type 1 Areas should never be used (except of course for Area 6).
However .... the system I look after is a package and like nearly all cases of using packaged systems -- we do not use every feature that is available. As a result there are 121 tables that are never used -- they are empty. There are also 20 tables that do get used but only ever have a single record in them.
If all of those tables and their indexes were put into a Type 1 Storage Area -- would there be any down-side? I can't see any.
It might seem like an exercise of "penny-pinching" -- but there are 30 copies of this database on the same server and I'm always scratching-around to save a bit of space.
