 Yes for fragmentation, rowids are not generated by default as a fragmen=
 t
 internally is represented as a "seperate tablespace" and since ROWID is=
 a
 representation of the logical page offset within a page for a fragmente=
 d
 table rows in different fragments can potentially have the same ROWID.
 That's why when you create the table "WITH ROWIDS" option a special row=
 id
 index is created which has got the "fragment partnum, page offset and
 slot#" to identify the row uniquely in a fragmented table.
 
 That's the reason relying on ROWID is not recommended as
 a) it can change -- in IN PLACE ALTER situations, UNLOAD/LOAD etc.
 b) fragmented tables don't have ROWIDs by default, but if you create th=
 e
 rowids, it adds to an overhead of going through the ROWID index to get =
 to
 the row and also it occupies extra space as its no more "virtual".

 While the technical explanation of rowid is always appreciated, hasn't
 it been a pretty well accepted "rule" for some time (possibly around ID=

 5.0 days or earlier) that applications/scripts/customers should not be

 wasn't it the rowid that underwent concept change when fragmentation wa=

 Rowid is of the format 0xLLLLLLSS where L =3D3D logical page offset wit=
 hi=3D
 n
 tablespace and S =3D3D slot# within page.
 
 When the engine starts allocating pages for the table, usually its
 contiguous and with increasing offset into the table ..but there maybe =
 =3D
 a
 situation in a table where say there are 5000 pages already allocated f=
 =3D
 or
 the table and there are some holes in the pages i.e. all of the pages a=
 =3D
 re
 not full with rows and potentially more rows can be fitted into the pag=
 =3D
 es
 .then it maybe that a new row is put in page offset 2000 ..then the RO=3D=
 
 WID
 will be less than the row residing on page 5000.
 
 U hv to visualize ROWID as a physical representation of a row ..when a =
 =3D
 user
 asks the engine to get a particular row ..it can get the ROWID (from th=
 =3D
 e
 index) and immediately go into the page without doing any further
 calculation ...so yes, its right that the ROWID is unique for the lifet=
 =3D

 of the row IN THE PAGE. In an IN PLACE ALTER situation, when u update t=

 row it may be relocated to another page and a new rowid is representing=

 the
 row now. ROWID is no internal integer which the engine increments every=
 =3D
 
 time a row is inserted ..ROWID is the means for the engine to reach the=
 =3D
 row
 in the quickest possible way ...

 Hi,
 
 I wonder if anyone one knows if IDS (9.3) asigns rowids in increasing
 order?
 
 I mean Always.
 
 In the documentation it i stated that:
 
 "The database server assigns to each row in the rowid column a unique
 number that remains stable for the life of the row."
 
 But I haven't found any indication that the numbers asigned to the rowd=
 =3D
 is
 are always choosed in increasing order.
 
 If anyone know, let me know . I'll appreciate it a lot.
 
 
 Chucho!
