That would be the behaviour I'd expect to be honest. A dropped segment is still a segment, but its extents are available for reuse. Or am I just being daft here. Meanwhile a little search through the bug db on metalink reveals bug 5665912 and a whole raft of similar bugs. which may be relevant together with the procedures DBMS_SPACE_ADMIN.TABLESPACE_FIX_SEGMENT_EXTBLKS DBMS_SPACE_ADMIN.TABLESPACE_REBUILD_BITMAPS both of which are a bit of a surprise to me. There's a reasonable amount of reading to do, but it rather looks to me as if the space information in these various views can be inconsistent, or wrong, for a number of reasons. (migration from previous version, parallel operations to name but two in addition to the dropped objects issue). cheers Niall On 5/10/07, Ric Van Dyke <ric.van.dyke@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
On my little test database the issues seems to be that dba_segments shows segments in the recycle bin (BIN$ segment names) but dba_extents doesn't. This little test just shows for table type segments which were the one segment type with the most difference in my database.

I have been under impression that dba_Extents is a rollup of the dba_extents and therefore these two SQLs should return the same results. This however does not seem to be the case. Does anyone know what is the reason for this?
