I'll take a stab at what I *think* you are describing. You moved a table without changing the pctfree and the extent sizes haven't changed either, but the destination is bigger than the source. Consider that percent free and percent used control whether a block is a candidate for the insertion of new rows. Now let's suppose that most of your rows grow after insert because some column values are born null or with small defaults that become longer. So your blocks are routinely much fuller than the original insertion size. The other possibility is that the extent sizes have changed and the last extent is now more empty. Or you could have changed initrans. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Fitzjarrell Sent: Monday, October 31, 2011 12:46 PM To: yang liu Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: segment issue Please post the entire text of the alter table move command as well as the tablepace definitions and Oracle release in use (all 4 to 5 numbers).
