Variable Extents using the max growth threshold

[adamk84]

Hi,
Just a quick and pretty simple question.
from the Progress DBA guide for 10.2
" While you indicate a
variable-length extent by leaving out the extent size in the .st file entry line, you can also
specify the maximum size to which the extent can grow by indicating the “v” extent type
and a size in kilobytes."

If you set a value for v in the .st file, when the database reaches this point does it automatically allocate a new variable extent with the same max threshold?

No - it won't. Whenever the last extent, be it variable with a threshold or fixed, has filled up and the broker can't write to the database anymore it will either stall or crash.

You need to manually add a new extent.
