Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: unused blocks BELOW HWM - Thanks
I agree with your reasoning Dennis. I have long felt that one of the problems with the list is that the original raiser of the question should have some sort of responsibility for summarising the various responses and posting a short summarised reply showing the solutions(s) that worked for him/her
This type of question where various solutions were proposed is the ideal candidate for this type of summarised response. I used to be on a Unix list and that strategy was used quite well there.

Subject: RE: unused blocks BELOW HWM - Thanks
Naaah, I'm just the proverbial lazy DBA. Gene received many replies,
including "it can't be done". Since he happened to point out that two of
them worked and produced the same results (an excellent sanity check), I
thought it would benefit everyone by telling us which ones worked. I realize
that we could have each tried each of the strategies and discovered the two
for ourselves, but my principle is if there is an easier way, why not?

Uh, amen. Isn't that the purpose of the list?
Or is there a *third* list, one "on topic", a second "off topic", and a third where all the answers really are?

Gene - Now that you've gotten your answer, would you mind to post both of
the methods that you found to work so that the rest of us could learn?
Thanks.

Hi.
This is just to thank all who replied to my post. Based on what I read, I have got two different ways of calculating that number and they seem to produce the same result.
thank you all (you know who you are)!!!!
