 how to find out the HWM size of the table or index or any objects inthe database.I mean previously there was  a lot of discussion in the group that TRUNCATE resets the HWM & DELETE statement does not do it. But how to see the HWM size ,none of the views DBA_TABLES,objects,segments show that imformation

  witht regards

Are you sure DBA_TABLES doesnt have information about HWM ?

Here's an extract from Performance tuning Manual :

"High Water Mark in DBA_TABLES
The data dictionary keeps track of the blocks that have been populated with rows. The high water mark is used as the end marker during a full table scan. The high water mark is stored in DBA_TABLES.BLOCKS. It is reset when the table is dropped or truncated.

"

Ofcourse,you will need to gather statistics to update the data dictionary.
