Database Tblspace
tblspace Tblspace Bit-Map Page
The first page of the tblspace tblspace, like the first page of any initial extent,
is a bit map that describes the page fullness of the following pages. Each page
that follows has an entry on the bit-map page. If needed, additional bit-map
pages are located throughout the contiguous space allocated for the tblspace,
arranged so that each bit map describes only the pages that follow it, until the
next bit map or the end of the dbspace. The bit-map pages are chained in a
linked list.
