I would first try to get my database upgraded to 10.2.0.4 with the highest available patchset. There are some patches and fixes concerning movement of the aud$ object, including a package to make the job easier (per Metalink note: 72460.1). Anothing to consider - if you have this much data in this table, perhaps a pruning effort should be considered? ----- Original Message ----- From: "hansie" <hansrajsao@xxxxxxxxx> To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 1:28:05 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Question regarding moving sys.aud$ table Hello All, sys.aud$ table is currently residing under tools tables space. which 80GB, but aud$ table is just 2GB. rest of space was used by perfstat which i have dropped. now there are 75GB space are free in tools tablespace. but i am not able to resize datafiles. I am thinking to move aud$ table to different tablespace and resize datafiles related to tools tablesspace. Quesiton: is it possible to move aud$ table suing "alter table sys.aud$ move tablespace xyz" and resize datafiles then move back aud$ to tools tablespace. reason for asking this question is, in metalink note it say need to create different aud$_1 table then insert record from original aud$ table then drop aud$ and rename aud$_1 to aud$. my datababe version is 10.2.0.2. -- Thanks, Hansraj -- Michael Fontana Sr. Technical Consultant Enkitec M: 214.912.3709 enkitec oracle_certified_partner -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
