Vivek Make sure you've read "How to Stop Defragmenting and Start Living" http://metalink.oracle.com/cgi-bin/cr/getfile_cr.cgi?239049 The authors point out that uniform extents stop fragmentation at the tablespace level. However they point out that there are other forms of fragmentation. Dennis

Shaibal is right on target. If you're going to go to the trouble to defragment then you may as well switch to uniform extent sizing so you don't have the problem in the future. If you have the room you can do it in stages. First create an index tablespace and rebuild all your indexes in that.

3000 extents seems a lot to me. I usually kept the number of extents for a segment below the number of blocks kept in the extent map, the extent map depends on the OS block size. For example if the block size is 8K you should not have more than 504 extents. --- VIVEK_SHARMA <[EMAIL PROTECTED
