Hi guys,

I would like to check whether any of the tablespace in my database is fragmented.

Is this the correct SQL statement to query?
SQL> select sum(bytes) from dba_free_space
where tablespace_name='USERS';

Any suggestions? Thanks.

How does above answer below?
What value of answer above change from "yes" to "no" or vice versa?

Why do you think "fragmentation" is causing any problems?

To check table and index over allocation you can use a script like

Don't be too concerned about large number of extents

Simple report on free space in a tablespace

select min(bytes)/1024/1024 min_meg, 
       max(bytes)/1024/1024 max_meg, 
	   sum(bytes)/1024/1024 tot_meg, 
	   count(*) holes 
from dba_free_space
where tablespace_name = 'USERS';

MIN_MEG	MAX_MEG	TOT_MEG	        HOLES
0.0625	15	468.1875	248
