alter table shrink space!!~ help!

user12050668Apr 13 2011 — edited Apr 14 2011
hi guys,

1) i issue a shrink space commands and it is taking ages to completed.

2) generated tons of redo and undo and i am near my harddisk max space.

q1) if i were to kill the session of now,
will there be alot of rolling back to be done ?

isn't alter table a DDL statement, so will the row movement be commited periodically or only after the whole statement has completed ?

which means that the rollback if i kill off the session will have to rollback all the way to the time whereby i issue the shrink statement ?

Regards,
Noob
