Oops, hit the send button too quickly. The LEAF_BLOCKS column in the USER_INDEXES table.

Inder - The only way I found was to analyze the index, then look at the LEAF_BLOCKS number. I found that in practice this worked pretty well. There are a few more blocks used beyond the leaf blocks, but not many.

Hi,

Is there any view where I can find how much free space I have within an index. So that I can plan for the growth of the index accordingly. If anybody has any script for that that would be great. Hope I am clear.

Regards,
Inder
