Joe,

I am reading between the lines here, so bear with me.
I think you will be disappointed with the results.  Oracle (8.0.x at least)
will assign extents in a round robin fashion across all online datafiles in
a tablespace.  All three files will have some extents in them.  The only
solution (well, there may be others) is to include a step to drop and
recreate the tablespace after the export.  And, assuming you export with
compress=y, you can create empty tables in the rebuilt tablespace, and know
before you import rows if the tablespace is large enough.

If my tablespace became so big that it had 3 datafiles
and became so fragmented, then I export and import
the whole databse, how can I tell if the REORG only
used up one or two datafiles.

OR is there a utility to see contents of a datafile?

Joe
