Reclaim LOB space of partitioned table

PhelitNov 9 2016 — edited Nov 10 2016

Hello community,

I have a partitioned table on a RAC Database 12c in ASM that has a HUGE amount of BLOB files (about 3TB).

I had to cancel a good chunk of these BLOB files due to space management. Now I need to reclaim that space.

I tried this command:

alter table <table_name> MODIFY partition <partition_name> shrink space

And got this error:

ORA-10631: SHRINK clause should not be specified for this object

Also tried:

alter table <table_name> MODIFY LOB (<blob_column>) (SHRINK SPACE)

and got this error:

ORA-10635: Invalid segment or tablespace type

Any hint on what am I doing wrong? (there are no function based indexes on the table)

Thank you

Phelit
