My apologies for not completely answering the queries raised by
Jeremiah.

Our Database version: 9i

The problem we are trying to solve:

The tables we are planning to do reorg have lot inserts and deletes in a
day.  On an average, around 250,000 to 300,000 records are inserted into
the table in a day.  The average record length is 693 for one of our big
table.  Around 150,000 records are deleted in a day.  Updates are done
to these tables but I do not have the update stats.  Indexes are defined
on these tables.

Due to the above heave I/O activity, lot of disk space is wasted and we
want to reclaim the disk space by doing reorg on the tables.

Fragmentation: Lot of unused space in the segment below HWM.

The biggest table size is 125 GB.

We want to move this table into ASSM type tablespace.

Is Alter table move is better or export and import is better? 

Regards,

Rao

Hmm...I think you missed the part where Jeremiah asked you what problem
you were trying to solve and what you meant by "fragmentation"....

Yes, alter table move resets the HWM.  Between exp/imp and alter table
move,
the latter seems far simpler. However, it would be helpful if you could
state more clearly what the problem is that you are trying to solve,
what
you mean by 'fragmentation,' and your version of Oracle.  Depending on
the
version, there may be other options available to you that can minimize
disruption.  Please see:
