Hi Stephen, PCT Increase 0, the indexes are in a different tablespace.
PCT Used was 40, I just recently increased it to 75. Do you know if the MOVE command moves blocks as they currently exist or if it behaves like an export/import? If the latter (which was my assumption) I'd expect that a low PCTUSED would actually shrink the table since each block in the new tablespace would fill up entirely except for the PCTFREE.

What is your PCTUSED? If small, you will have lots of free space within blocks. Just a thought. Don't let your disk person know this happened as they may try to sell you more hardware.

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.
