Re: Online "tablespace" reorg ?

A little more information of my environment . These are all DSS - Oracle 10.1.0.3.0 on HPUX 11.1... Database sizes are from 5 - 20TB The largest table space approx 800GB containing approx 20-50 segments, tablespaces average about 200GB +-

90% are DMT & no ASSM

We are concerned with reclaiming space and switching to LMT and ASSM. Im thinking of creating new tablespaces with these attributes find the dependent segments and alter table move... and recreate the indexes.

I suspect CTAS involves more TEMP space and therefor slower, where I believe move creates a copy of the table and then drops the old and that can be done online (off peak)

as far as online table reorg, there is dbms_redefinition which allows modifying columns etc...

Just wondering others opinions of

1- reclaiming space with such large objects 2 - opinions on using ASSM
3 - recommendations from others who have "been there" :)

Thanks!
