Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Packing or freeing datafiles?
We have a tablespace that is now much bigger than needed to
hold the data in it, and I would like to shrink it.
However, all datafiles have some extents allocated near the end of the
file,
so cannot just downsize them.
Is it possible to first move all allocated extents away from one
datafile to another,
or to "pack" a datafile, i.e. move all extents to the beginning of the
file.
I only have access thru TOAD, no OEM, so would need the SQL-commands
(Oracle 9i).
Any help appreciated.
