If the imp/exp is done on a table level it will leave the first, next extents alone unless compress=y is specified. If it is the import will attemp to create an extent equal to the size of all the allocated extents. If it can't find the contiguous space it bombs. If the imp is done on the tablespace level it will defag the entire tablespace. The imp/exp object(s) can be dropped or truncated depending what you want to do. (e.g. you want to defrag but not move the high water marks) Received on Thu Oct 26 1995 - 00:00:00 CET
