I want to know how much of space is left in my table space. when i query dba_extents it gives the space allocated not the space actully used.
The dba_free_space gives the free space but it is not the total free space available because allocated extents may also have some unused space.
Could you please tell me how can I get the actuall free space in my tablespace.

Hi,

It is true that DBA_FREE_SPACE will show u only that space which is not allocated by any of the segment. And if you want to reclaim the unused but allocated space from table than u can use:

ALTER TABLE TB_NAME DEALLOCATE UNSED;

This command will deallocate all the space above HWM from the table.
