Thanks for the correction on alter table move. Oracle 8, not 9i! I = don't know what I was thinking. As to statistics treatment, that's a good point too. I no longer have = any 8.0 databases to test with, but in my humble opinion, the 9i = behavior of=20 the deletion of statistics is the correct thing to do. Once the table = has=20 been rebuilt, the statistics are (likely to) vary significantly from = reality. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Wolfgang Breitling Sent: Wed 9/8/2004 7:49 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc:=09 Subject: RE: segment fragmentation Excellent point about the statistics.
