There is a bigrow available.
I don't like to have fixed extent and want to use only variable extents to avoid problems (extent full)
And I don't like to use fixed extent and one variable, then I need to watch it all the time, not good for a 24h system.
But how to preformat a db variable extent (online) to move the formatting of extents in times with low I/O?
I believe George answered the question.
There is no "dbgrow" utility in Progress while in Oracle one can do
alter database datafile '<your_extent_full_path>' resize <size>;
Your best bet is to create one variable extent per area and just monitor the space on the file system.
You will not get the essential benefits from the "dbgrow" utility because data extents are growing too slow. And while one process is adding new data cluster to a variable extent the other processes are not blocked and they can continue their db updates at the same time.
