Hello all,

DB: 8i
OS: soalris 2.8

why DBMS_SPACE.FREE_BLOCKS is not giving correct status:

create table ram1 (a number);  

analyze table ram1 compute statistics;  

 select table_name, blocks,empty_blocks
 from dba_tables
 where table_name = 'RAM1';  

TABLE_NAME BLOCKS EMPTY_BLOCKS  RAM1 0 4   Using dbms_space.free_space:

 set serveroutput on
 declare
 free number;
 begin
 dbms_space.free_blocks('SYS','RAM1','TABLE',0,free);  dbms_output.put_line('Free blocks '||free);  end;
 /  

> Free blocks 0
>
> PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

am I missing something ?

regards,
srinivas
