Ok, I'm a little confused here, and looking for some help. This is 10gR2 (10.2.0.3) on Linux. I'm trying to move some LOBSEGMENTs and LOBINDEXes from one tablespace to another. If I run this query: 1 select tablespace_name, 2 owner, 3 segment_type, 4 segment_name 5 from dba_segments 6 where (tablespace_name like 'PQDS%' 7 or tablespace_name like 'PQDM%' 8 or tablespace_name like 'PQDL%') 9* and segment_type like 'LOB%' SQL> / TABLESPACE_NAME OWNER SEGMENT_TYPE SEGMENT_NAME ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------ ------------------------------ PQDMDATA ADDS LOBSEGMENT SYS_LOB0000076746C00005$$ PQDMDATA ADDS LOBINDEX SYS_IL0000076746C00005$$ PQDMDATA ADDS LOBSEGMENT SYS_LOB0000076892C00005$$ PQDMDATA ADDS LOBINDEX SYS_IL0000076892C00005$$ PQDMDATA ADDS LOBSEGMENT SYS_LOB0000076980C00013$$ PQDMDATA ADDS LOBINDEX SYS_IL0000076980C00013$$ PQDLINDX ADDS LOBINDEX SYS_IL0000078274C00002$$ PQDLINDX ADDS LOBSEGMENT SYS_LOB0000078274C00002$$ 8 rows selected. I see 4 lobsegments and 4 lobindexes, that I want to move. First off, they're system generated names, so I have no idea what table/column they are associated with. I want to move all of these into a tablespace called PQDDATA. So, I run another query: SQL> select table_name , column_name from dba_tab_columns where owner='ADDS' and data_type like '%LOB' 2 / TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME ------------------------------ ------------------------------ PM_TAGS PMTG_TAG_VALUE MODULE_PARAMETERS MPAR_LOV_QUERY CREATE$JAVA$LOB$TABLE LOB TEMP_SOH_TEST XML_DATA RECOMMENDED_LIST RLT_DOCUMENT And I see 5 tables that have LOB columns. So, based on MetaLink Doc ID 100548.1, I try to move these by doing something like: alter table pm_tags move lob(PMTG_TAG_VALUE) store as (tablespace pqddata); This command is syntactically correct, and succeeds, returning "Table altered.", but, the logsegment and lobindex haven't actually moved. Can anyone offer me a clue or suggestion as to what I'm missing here? Also, does anyone know how to map the system generated lobsegment and lobindex names back to a specific table/column?
