All
We have a table which has BLOB datatype. We do lots of delete and insert in this tables, There is a separate tablespace for this table. This has grown so big. I am pretty sure the table will not be that large. Following are my question

1. How do I check what is the exact size of this table?
2. If I move this table along with BLOB cloumn to a new created tablespace, how big do I need to create this new tablespace??
3. Is there any other method to reclaim space from the old tablespace?

Thanks in Advance.

Toshi

[varu123 answer was: select sum(bytes) from dba_segments where segment_name='your segment name']

varu123, LOB are located in a separate segment so your query will not give the answer.

Yes, LOB are stored outside the tablespace.

Please don't remove your old posts, no matter how incorrect they are. Now it looks as if Michel is schizophrenic.

Check segment_type in dba_segments.
