I have 9 gb of datafile in one tablespace. used space of the datafile from OEM shows that 1 gb is used I tried to give command
ALTER DATABASE
DATAFILE 'D:ORACLEORADATAUSERS01.DBF' RESIZE
2048 mb

but it gives me an error that space contains used data.
It is not allowing to resize how can I gain the space which is wested in the datafile.

Hi,

It might be that the free space is scattered around the datafile. The resize operation will not repack the datafile. So, if some space above 2048MB is allocated, you cannot resize to 2048MB.

Best regards.

Frank
