Talk:extent

RFV discussion
"(computing) An individual database extension." This is not familiar to me. What is a database extension? I wonder whether it could be a garbled attempt at the other computing sense I just added (which can be found on Wikipedia too): "(computing) A contiguous area of storage in a file system."

 * RFV failed, sense removed. The creator may have been confused by the fact that in some database products, such as Oracle, you can add extents to an object such as a table, which means you're extending the storage available to the object; but extent there is the same as in the sense you added. —Ruakh TALK 17:23, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
