GOAL:
What happens to the variable-length extent of a database when prostrct add is performed?
FIX:
Running a prostrct add against a database that has grown into its variable-length extent, will cause the variable-length extent to be marked as fixed. The file's current size will be rounded up to a multiple of thirty-two.
If the database has not grown into the variable-length extent, or is less than 32K in length, the prostrct add operation will fail.
Important Note: THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR VARIABLE LENGTH EXTENTS NEAR THE 2GB LIMIT AS THE ROUNDING OFF TO A MULTIPLE OF 32 MAY HIT THE 2GB LIMIT.
YOU CAN ONLY REMOVE EMPTY EXTENTS, AND, ADDED EXTENTS MUST BE EMPTY.
