The closest we've come to here (8.1.7, Solaris (no partitioning) is to use
Materialized Views (MVs). This method effectively allows a table to be
rebuilt, reclaim unused space (left over from archiving) There is minimal
downtime while the tables are renamed and grants established. We use this
method repeatedly and have reclaimed over 100G os valuable space in an DSS
env and halved table scan times.
We got the idea from askTom.
If you do this for each table in the tablespace, you will achieve a
rebuild. This method is time consuming however it is better than nothing as
the tables remain online and the indexes remain valid for the duration of
the rebuild. You will need sufficient additional disk space to maintain a
duplicate of the table and the indexes. Once a new version has been built
then the old version can be dropped
