Several rules of OnLine space allocation are illustrated here. The chunks that compose a dbspace (or blobspace) need not
be contiguous. A single dbspace can include chunks located in cooked and raw file space. A database can contain data stored
in both dbspaces and blobspaces. A tblspace can span chunks, but extents cannot. The tblspace is a logical concept that
embraces all data that is allocated to a specific table, including regular data and index pages. Pages that store blobs within
a blobspace can be larger than the pages that store blobs within a dbspace.
