Question
An index is reaching a limitation on the number of pages it has, can you explain why this limitation exists and what work you would do to get around it?
Answers
A dbspace can have one or more partitions. Each partition has a special “header” info in the first extent.
The partition header keeps a list of the partition’s extents. If the object holding the space in the partition (table / index) has a great number of extents, the header may not be able to keep the full list.
Workarounds:
increase first / next extent size and recreate the object
change the page size -> will result in a lower number of extents
recreate the index in a dbspace having a larger page size   Your Comment
