Subject: ALTER TABLE MOVE command causes table to grow
Had an annoying surprise last week. A table had grown unexpectedly large
and I scheduled a time over the weekend to move it to its own tablespace
from my "medium" tablespace.
The table ended up growing 50%. I had anticipated it might grow somewhat
given the PCTFREE of 10% but freeing up that space in the blocks should, at
most, have caused it to grow by 10% (assuming that 10% was completely full).
Does anyone have ideas as to why it would have grown by so much? Indexes
are in a different tablespace and the only other change was from an extent
size of 4 meg to one of 25 meg. Both are dictionary managed tablespaces.
Oracle 8.1.7.2
Solaris 2.6
Thanks,
