DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION
specifies the semantics of deferred segment creation. If set to true
, then segments for tables and their dependent objects (LOBs, indexes) will not be created until the first row is inserted into the table.
Before creating a set of tables, if it is known that a significant number of them will not be populated, then consider setting this parameter to true
. This saves disk space and minimizes install time.
