The LMT is implemented by adding the extent management local clause to the tablespace definition syntax. Unlike the older dictionary managed tablespaces (DMTs), LMTs automate extent management and keep the Oracle DBA from being able to specify the next storage parameter to govern extent sizes. The only exception to this rule is when NEXT is used with minextents at table creation time.
In a dictionary managed tablespace (DMT), the data dictionary stores the free space details. While the free blocks list is managed in the segment heard of each table, inside the tablespace), the Free space is recorded in the sys.uet$ table, while used space in the sys.uet$ table.
But with high DML-rate busy tablespaces the data dictionary became a I/O bottleneck and the movement of the space management out of the data dictionary and into the tablespace have two benefits. First, the tablespace become independent and can be transportable (transportable tablespaces). Second, locally managed tablespaces remove the O/O contention away from the SYS tablespace.
Segment size management manual vs segment size management auto.
Here is how to migrate the SYSTEM tablespace from dictionary managed to local managed.
