For individual table & index reorgs, I like using Bradmark's DBGENERAL Tablespace Manager. It's reasonably priced, more convenient that Oracle EXP/IMP, but (IMHO) it's not that much faster than EXP/IMP, just more convenient, so it might not suit your needs. Tablespace Manager is also useful for allowing a DBA to reorg a table in a schema where they don't know the password for that schema. As an alternative to EXP/IMP, a DBA can use "create table <schema.newtable> as select * from <schema.oldtable>", then RENAME the tables & rebuild indexes. However, the RENAME won't allow the schema to be specified (i.e., RENAME <schema.oldtable> TO <schema.newtable> isn't allowed). Bradmark gets around this restriction by copying the encrypted password to a string, changing the password momentarily, logging in as that user, then immediately changing it back to the original encrypted password (very clever). Their utility also automatically rebuilds the indexes. If I remember correctly, it can't reorg tables with LONG columns.
