Well, this could be one of the valid use cases for a shrink / move: if the table is a queue type table (either AQ or homegrown), it may currently have only 14 rows or some such. But it there ever was a time when the dequeue stopped or failed, the table could have grown ridiculously. If there’s no appropriate index (or none whatsoever, perhaps, because a queue table should never have more than a handful of rows) then Oracle will have to read up to the HWM, and if that got pushed out pretty far, that could well cause a performance issue.

How many blocks is the table occupying? For the number of rows you list, it can't be more than a block or two and would probably save little.

Yes. Just run alter table move tablespace whatever then rebuild the indexes. That will accomplish what you need.

How big is the table? He probably wants you to shrink it by eliminating unused blocks. The simplest way to do that is by an alter table move command followed by alter index rebuild.
