Oracle 10g DBA: Adding Time Information into Tablespace Names

In VLDB databases, there is a common willing in using a tablespace naming convention that includes seasonal information of data within tablespace, such as CHURN_2008M01 or SALE_2008W50.

By just looking the name of a tablespace, the DBA can have a pretty good idea about the tablespace and segments within that tablespace. Nevertheless, prior to 10g this convention can cause significant degeneration in system catalog performance if data windowing is used.
