Hello Everyone

Can anybody put some light on the below output, Why there is the difference in the two outputs?

SQL> select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 from dba_segments;

SUM(BYTES)/1024/1024/1024
-------------------------
1221.11511

SQL> select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 from dba_extents;

SUM(BYTES)/1024/1024/1024
-------------------------
1213.16077


Thankyou.

Liam.

Some bytes are not in extents.

Does that mean dba_extents does not have the exact used information, and we should always query dba_segments ?.

dba_extents have information about extents.
dba_segments have information about segments.
Segments are made of extents + other things.
