Hi Guys,
I have a confusion over fragmentation in the tables,if we have LMT then does't it eliminate any kind of fragmentation within the database or do we still have the possiblity of fragmentation within segments(table)?

Regards

What
alter tablespace tablespace_name coalesce does in DMT,exactly the same thing is done by bitmaps in LMTs.
Coalesce just merge adjacent free blocks as one unit.
Hence fragmentation is reduced but not eliminated.
YOu cannot achive 100% fragmentation in any case.

Tablespace fragmentation is meaningless with LMT.
Table fragmentation is meaningless if you use ASSM.
The only case it is important to take care of fragmentation is when you execute bulk deletes (and don't want to reinsert data).
