Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Finding skipped blocks
You can use dba_extents. Any time you have an extent_id > 0, your table,
index is fragmented. Use block_id and blocks to get the full picture. If
you are locking for skipped blocks within the tablespace, you need to use
something like: current row blockid + current row blocks <> next row blockid
