Janet,
 Possibly there were other tables in the tablespace using space in the datafile and 
then some tables were deleted leaving the tablespace fragmented. To completely clean 
the tablespace and free the space you have to export the contents of the tablespace( 
all tables), drop the tables, coalesce the tablespace, then recreate the tables, 
import the data and check the grants on the tables, Your tablespace should be 
contiguous and allow you to shrink the datafile to a smaller space.

Hi all,

I have a data file of 2G and the free bytes is 
1,413,079, the used bytes is only 683,829.  I like to
resize it.  When I issue:
alter database datafile
'/orafs02/oradata/PV_A0725/ld_data05.dbf' resize
1000M, I got:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03297: file contains used data beyond requested
RESIZE value


But apparently, the file does NOT contain data beyond
1000M.  Am I missing something?

Thank you.

Janet
