DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION

Property Description
Parameter type Boolean
Default value true
Modifiable ALTER SESSION, ALTER SYSTEM
Range of values true | false
Basic No

DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION specifies the semantics of deferred segment creation. If set to true, then segments for non-partitioned 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.
