RE: coalesce tablespace

It's dba_free_space_coalesced.

It would take contiguous free extents and make them larger extents, which would be more likely to reuse. Especially if there are many smaller ones, this moot if using LMT.

It is a very quick procedure and good to do occasional, you can check in dba_data_files_coalesced to see if the number is far from 100%, if it is less than 75% or so, just throw a coalesce on the tablespace.

We have tablespaces in acceptance and production that are being resized for growth. Pctincrease is set at 0. Would it also help to coalesce the tablespace? What are the benefits of this command? Thanks,
Sandi
