Hi: I want to alter the initial extent size of the table.

When I try the following command:

alter table XXX STORAGE (INITIAL 128K);

I go the following error:

ORA-02203 INITIAL storage options not allowed
Cause
An attempt was made to alter the INITIAL storage option of a table, cluster, index, or rollback segment. These options may only be specified when the object is created.

Is it NOT possible to alter the Initial extent size of the table OR do I need to use any other command.

Thanks

This makes NO sense.
The object already exists.

Exactly what do you hope to accomplish?

Table was originally created in Tablespace A (which is defined with EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 4906K)

and then moved to Tablespace B ( defined as EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 128K )

Now the table Initial extent is set at 4096K and NEXT EXTENTS are defined as 128K.

I want to update the Initial extent to 128K is it possible?

It is the size of the first extent allocated for your object. And you cannot change the size of extent already allocated to object.
Seems You need to reset the size of NEXT exitents allocated for your object.
