Table extents differences on recreate

Posted By: MURALI PAZHAYANNUR
Date: Monday, 8 October 2018, at 1:18 p.m.

When I recreate a table using the 'create table....as select from...' syntax, the new table gets created with the extent size/next size of 16/16. The original table has 13 extents, however, the new table is in 2 extents. This would not surprise me if the original table was small. In my case the original table/new has 14 million records. Why is the new table in 2 extents and its next size so large (see details below) despite the extent sizes being 16/16?

My colleague confirmed this with oncheck -pT

System Info: Informix 12.10.FC6, HP-UX 11.31.ia64

Here are the details (Sorry about the formatting mess here):

a. _fi_debt_price is fi_debt_price renamed.
b. fi_debt_price is created by:

create table dba.fi_debt_price_new as select * from dba._fi_debt_price;

rename table fi_debt_price_new to fi_debt_price;

_fi_debt_price (oncheck -pT)
