I am trying to deallocate the space below high water mark using the following SQL:

ALTER TABLE TEST_TABLE DALLOCATE UNUSED KEEP 6k

But the system is throwing ORA-03230 error saying: segment only contains 0 blocks of unused space above high water mark.

Error Message

ORA-03230: segment only contains 0 blocks of unused space above high water mark.

Regards

Sunil

your KEEP seems to be high.
try reducing it.
or
just move the table to the same tablespace_as_before.
it will reset the HWM.

sql> alter table mytable move tablespace Mytablespace;
