Hello All,

I have one generic question about space management. I have one table with size of 1TB. This table stored in ORC1 tablespace. This tablespace contains 70 datafiles.

Since it's 10.2.0.4 database. I have dropped this table by using purge

drop table <<table_name>> purge;


Once table drop was completed. When I check the tablespace space it was 100% free but due to HWM was unable to resize the datafile from current size to small size.

What was the reason behind this. Is there any process needs to follow when dropping big tables ? like instead of dropping the tables do I need to truncate first & then drop .

Appreciate if any response to my question.

Because it is designed as it: DROP TABLE do not change the size of the files, it just free space inside the tablespace. DROP TABLE means you have the privilege to manage the table not to manage the tablespace.

ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE ... RESIZE ...

>was unable to resize the datafile from current size to small size.

Check if you have any other segment(s) (Table(s) or Index(es)) in the same tablespace.

You can use the following simple mapper script to see what is in each datafile. You can get the datafile file# from v$datafile.

Just for my information, why the RULE hint?

It is a very old script from the 90's that used to perform better in some version of Oracle 8 with the rule hint. Thanks for the catch. I took the rule hint out.
