Hi,

In a tablespace having several tables, how do we find out the amount of space occupied by individual tables.

Within a table is it possible to find hou much space is occupied by a set of rows?

Could you help me out in this please.

Thanks in advance,
Sai

Size of an individual table:

SQL> SELECT bytes
  2    FROM dba_segments
  3   WHERE owner        = 'SCOTT'
  4     AND segment_name = 'EMP'
  5  /

     BYTES
----------
     65536

Size of rows (you can add a where clause to exclude rows):

SQL> SELECT SUM( VSIZE(empno) + VSIZE(ename) + VSIZE(job) + VSIZE(mgr) +
  2              VSIZE(hiredate) + VSIZE(sal) + VSIZE(comm) + VSIZE(deptno) ) bytes
  3  FROM   scott.emp
  4  /

     BYTES
----------
       130

The difference is overhead.

Best regards.

Frank
