I will take the liberty of copying one of my > posts from that thread, confirming that your code should be correct: That's the logic I followed when designing the query.. I think I pulled it (the logic.. unfortunately, not the query.. or maybe fortunately) out of the Oracle manual.. and I tested it fairly thoroughly. The only thing that wasn't clear was oracles interpretation of a MB.. (1024 * 1024 vs. 1024 * 1000) This is actually part of a bigger script that I use to monitor extents and adds a threshold. (Segment can't extend 5 times.. etc) So, I know well ahead of time that the segment is outgrowing the tablespace. I usually run it once a day, assuming something wont extend more than the threshold, in a single day.
