官方文档的说明：
DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION


Property Description
Parameter typeBoolean
Default value true
Modifiable ALTER SESSION, ALTER SYSTEM
Range of valuestrue | false
Basic No
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.

DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION具体指segment延迟创建，如果DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION的&＃20540;时true，则当table创建时，该table以及依赖它的lob，index的segment都不会创建，知道第一行记录插入到该table。DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION 参数从11.2.0.1引进,默认&＃20540;为true;如果要使其恢复老版本功能,设置该参数为false.

DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION效果验证：

SQL>select * from v$version;

BANNER

SQL>show parameter DEFERRED_SEGMENT_CREATION

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
deferred_segment_creation            boolean     TRUE

SQL>create table t_hh (id number,name varchar2(10));

Table created.

SQL>create index ind_t_hh_id on t_hh(id);

Index created.

SQL>Select segment_name,segment_type from user_segments where segment_name in ('T_HH','IND_T_HH_ID');

no rows selected


SQL>insert into t_hh values(998,'hengheng');

1 row created.

SQL>Select segment_name,segment_type from user_segments where segment_name in ('T_HH','IND_T_HH_ID');

SEGMENT_NAME                                                                      SEGMENT_TYPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
T_HH                                                                              TABLE
IND_T_HH_ID                                                                       INDEX

这里我们可以看到，当insert发生的时候，数据库会给该表创建segment并分配extent，无论该insert 操作是commit or rollback。but，deferred_segment_creation 参数对sys，system用户是无效的，下面我们来验证下：

SQL>show user
USER is "SYS"
SQL>create table t_sys_hh (id number,name varchar2(10));

Table created.

Elapsed: 00:00:00.17
SQL>Select segment_name,segment_type from dba_segments where segment_name = 'T_SYS_HH';

SEGMENT_NAME                                                                      SEGMENT_TYPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
T_SYS_HH                                                                          TABLE

对于古老的导出工具exp来说，我们无法导出没有segment的表，故在exp之前需要给表分配extent，可以用：alter table tablename allocate extent;
