Hi all: I am very confused by the following 2 SQLs which I have ran against oracle 10.2.0.3. I have been under impression that dba_Extents is a rollup of the dba_extents and therefore these two SQLs should return the same results. This however does not seem to be the case. Does anyone know what is the reason for this? SQL> select sum(bytes/1024)/1024 from dba_extents where tablespace_name = 'CCS_X_017'; SUM(BYTES/1024)/1024 -------------------- 22200 1* select sum(bytes/1024)/1024 from dba_segments where tablespace_name = 'CCS_X_017' SQL> / SUM(BYTES/1024)/1024 -------------------- 2400 thank you Gene Gurevich -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
