Good point, David. I forgot to mention shrink space....

Okay. What version of Oracle are you on? Are you using locally managed tablespaces and ASSM? Check out the command 'alter table shrink space' (in conjunction with alter table enable row movement ). You need to identify which tables are using those blocks, shrink them, then resize the datafiles. Please nbe careful and understand what might happen if in fact you need to invoke row movement. If you've got long raw data, you'll probably have to use exp/imp to reorg the tables.

At some point we over-allocated the tablespaces. So, we have large datafiles, but with lot of space not being used (holes) currently. We want to reclaim this space, such as by shrinking (resize) the datafiles. But, since there are one or blocks at the end of the datafile in a lot of cases, the shrink doesn't work very well. If instead there is a tool that can move the blocks that are at the end of the datafile(s) to somewhere in the beginning of the free space, the resize could work.
HTH,

I suggest you review a presentation by Tom Kyte on reorganizing objects that he gave yesterday at RMOUG. I expect it should be on his website somewhere.
Short version: you probably don't need to do anything.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
