Calculate Space Requirements for Heap Tables
Note:  If rows in the table span pages, use the procedure in Calculate Space Requirements When Rows Span Pages instead.
Use the following procedure to determine the amount of space needed to store the data in a heap table:
1. Create the table.
2. Determine the number of rows that fit on a page.
select tups_per_page from iitables where table_name = ‘tablename’;
3. Determine the total number of pages needed if the table is a heap.
total_heap_pages = num_rows / tups_per_page
