I need to move some tables from the current tablespace(schema) to another tablespace. I also need to poupalte these data back to original tablespace as a part of table re-oragnisation using

ALTER TABLE tablename MOVE TABLESPACE

It may be re-oranised in the same tablepsace or another.

But one of my table contains CLOB datatype. I wanted to know this type of data type would be handled using Oracle 8.1.7.

I wish to follow steps, if CLOB datatype handelded

A. Create a new tablespace TEMP_DATA with autoextend option of datafile

B. Move all the tables of schema (tablespace) in the new tablespace, moving the data we want to save over temporarily

C. Truncate all the tables from schema

D. Resize the current tablespace, if required.

E. Move the data from TEMP_DATA back to the current
tablespace

F. Re-build all the concern unusable or invalidated indexes

G. Drop the TEMP_DATA tablespace

Your feedback would be appreciated.

First, why do you want to do re-org?
>>I want just to know the step C Truncate all the tables from schema is required when I re-organise all the tables.
By doing this,
>>ALTER TABLE tablename MOVE TABLESPACE
You already moved the table to another tablespace. Your "re-org" is done~.
>>C. Truncate all the tables from schema
What table are you talking about? You already moved it another tablespace. Table is just ***moved*** to another tablespace and NOT ***copied*** (Only one copy of table is maintained).
If you still have access to same table, you might be truncating the table you moved!!.

  1* select table_name,tablespace_name from user_tables where table_name='DEPT'
SQL> /

TABLE_NAME                     TABLESPACE_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
DEPT                           SYSTEM

SQL> alter table dept move tablespace apps;

Table altered.

SQL> select table_name,tablespace_name from user_tables where table_name='DEPT';

TABLE_NAME                     TABLESPACE_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
DEPT                           APPS

SQL> truncate table dept;

Table truncated.

SQL> select * from dept;

no rows selected

I wanted to remove intra-block fragmentation from the larger tables and improving performance (access to table faster) so that I need to move table from one tablespace to another. I can also perform this task using the same tablespace name. As per you reply, I undestand that it does not require to truncate table after moving table from one tablespace to another and back as below.

1) alter table dept move tablespace apps

2) TRUNCATE TABLE DEPT ( NEED TO REMOVE THIS STEP, IF NOT WRONG)

3) alter table dept move tablespace SYSTEM

ALTERNATIVELY, I can perform as below

alter table dept move tablespace apps

It would remove intra-block fragementation. I wanted to know is theer any advantages of performing this job and re-building indexes.

Thanks for your clarification. Your further answer would be highly appreciated.

>>any advantages of performing this job and re-building indexes
Usually,Rebuilding indexes may or may not help.
Whatever it is, do not rebuild indexes as a scheduled job.
In this case you need to rebuild the indexes (after an alter table move).
>> to remove intra-block fragmentation
You might find it, those tables will be in same state after a while.
So you would be doing this all your life:) with regular downtime!.
Ideal solution would be switching to LMT (local managed tablespaces) with uniform extent size. THis will almost fix any intra-block fragmentation (still inter-block fragmentation will exist and you cannot completetly eradicate it).
If you are still in DMT, use pctincrease=0 and initial=next.

De-Fragmentation is a dead concept (well, almost).
Design your tablespaces properly.
This very old Oracle white paper talks about it.

Thanks for your valuable feedback for my queries. I would like to verify again one thing as below

1)It is really required to having downtime to re-organise table and re-build index while only the records are appended in the table. Please give your opinion

2) Can I create new table in another schema B using the old table from A schema. please note that this table is continously appending records through job(synronising from the live server).

Is there any issue of locking,latch or any negative impact on the DB while it is running

Please advise me.
