Last I heard ASSM was buggy.  I would search on ASSM in the archives.

Subject: Re: Online "tablespace" reorg ?

A little more information of my  environment . These are all  DSS -
Oracle 10.1.0.3.0  on HPUX  11.1... Database sizes are from 5 - 20TB The
largest table space approx 800GB containing approx 20-50  segments,
tablespaces average about 200GB +-

90% are DMT & no ASSM

We are concerned with reclaiming space and  switching to LMT and ASSM. 
Im thinking of creating new tablespaces with these attributes find the
dependent segments and alter table move...  and recreate the indexes.

I suspect CTAS involves more TEMP space and therefor slower, where I
believe move creates a copy of the table and then drops the old and that
can be done online (off peak)

as far as online table reorg, there is dbms_redefinition   which allows 
modifying columns  etc...

Just wondering others opinions of

1- reclaiming space  with such large objects
2 -  opinions on using ASSM
3 -  recommendations  from others who have "been there" :)

Thanks!
Bob
