Hi Vidya,
I thought Deletes happen within the HWM....I am confused by your
statement "deletes above the HWM".....Guru's pls correct me if I am wrong.
Best Regards
Sriram Kumar

Subject: Re: "Deallocate Unused" not releasing space above HWM
Hi All
I am trying to reclaim the wasted space (huge deletes), which are above the
HWM. I had analysed the table before and got the "empty_blocks" details from
dba_tables.
I am using the following query,
alter table tab1 deallocate unused;
and then to bring down the HWM,
alter table tab1 move tablespace AR_DATA; ---- Moved within the same tablespace
and then I had rebuilt all the corresponding indexes.
As a last step, I had coalesced the tablespace.
Next day (because SMON is not going to clear it up immediately), I had analyzed
the tables again and got the "empty_blocks" details from dba_tables.
When I look the empty_blocks, for some tables it has not yet released the
space.
Am I missing any steps? I searched Metalink, but it looks like I have covered
everything that needs to be.
I have one more question. To really reclaim the space, do I have to move the
table out of its own tablespace ?
Any thoughts are most welcome.
Thanks and Regards
Vidya
