Rafiq, While your script provides a lot of good information, it sure is slow on my system. It took 1:44 minutes while my script below took 420 mseconds. I was really surprised as my script has a self-join. Then I checked out dba_free_space_coalesced. It sure is complicated as it calls on two other views and a table.
select a.tablespace_name, count(a.tablespace_name) "ContinguousFreeBlocks" from dba_free_space a, dba_free_space b where a.tablespace_name = b.tablespace_name and a.file_id = b.file_id and a.block_id = b.block_id + b.Blocks group by a.tablespace_name; If ContinguousFreeBlocks is > 10, I coalesce.
