Tablespace fragmentation problem

user456944May 24 2006 — edited May 24 2006
All,

I am working in Oracle 9i. Developers are facing some problem. Oracle is throwing ORA-1654 error. There is enough space in the tablespaces. To me it seems to be fragmentation problem. I found one query on some site and executed in my environment.

SQL> select substr(ts.name, 1,10) TableSpace,to_char(f.file#,990) "file #",tf.blocks blocks,sum(f.length) free,to_char(count(*),9990) frags,max(f.length) bigst, to_char(min(f.length),999990) smllst,round(avg(f.length)) avg,to_char(sum(decode(sign(f.length-5), -1, f.length,0)),99990) dead from sys.fet$ f, sys.file$ tf, sys.ts$ ts where ts.ts# = f.ts# and ts.ts# = tf.ts# group by ts.name, f.file#, tf.blocks;

From the output it seems GAP_INDEX has some fragmentation problem. Can somebody suggest, what the output means particularly the "DEAD" one.

And also, how to do the fragmentation ??

Thanks for help.

Regards,
Rajeev
