If someone knows a way around this without actually dropping and recreating the table, I would love to hear it as well.
Thanks,

Hi Rick,
I've seen the same behavior, except I was moving to a system managed extent size LMT. My guess is that it's swapping blocks or something, it certainly isn't doing a select... insert. If it was going through the sql engine, I'd expect to see the disk savings that you were expecting - similar to what you'd see if you exported and imported. If you stumble across a better explanation, I'd be interested.
Thanks

Let me give you the scenarios. Maybe I can get a good explanation from someone.
Tablespace A locally managed uniform extents size 512M.
Tablespace B locally managed uniforma extents size 1M.
The table only needs 76M of space. Why create all those additional extents?
Thanks for any information,
Rick Stephenson
