Hi,

What does the statistic_name='space used' column in v$segment_statistics show?

I get results i don't understand at all, e.g.

SQL> select owner, object_name, statistic_name, value from v$segment_statistics where owner='SYS' and object_name='WRI$_OPTSTAT_HISTGRM_HISTORY' and statistic_name='space used';

OWNER      OBJECT_NAME                    STATISTIC_NAME               VALUE

---------- ------------------------------ --------------- ------------------
SYS WRI$_OPTSTAT_HISTGRM_HISTORY space used -554110

Yes, that is a negative value.

I expected beforehand that space_used would be something like bytes in memory or something like that.

Does anyone know what it actually is?
