I am in the process of loading some image data, and would like to "pack" the
data as best I can.  

Version 8.1.7.2.0
Locally managed tablespace with a 3Mb extent.
pctfree=1
pctused=95

After I do an analyze table I get the following results

num_rows*avg_row_len=28896420
bytes by segment=34603008
number of blocks = 2112
number of extents = 11

If I was to divide the bytes by segement by numrow*avg_row_len I get 83 %.
which is nowhere near the 95% that I specified.  Even though it is an
average, I thought
it would be closer to 95%.

It appears to me that I am wasting 5+ Mb per image, and after 50+ images,
could add upto 
250+ Mb.

I am totally wrong in my understanding of the numbers, and if so, what kind
of parameters
do I need to "pack" the data.

Thanks

Darren
