Because you're doing full table scan that is scan all blocks till HWM and delete does not change HWM and so the number of blocks you scan.

There are workarounds.
They depend on your Oracle version and if use ASSM or not but in short it is rebuilding the table/moving the rows.

- alter table move
- create table as select / truncate / insert back
- export / truncate / import

These are the options you have. Only the first can be done online.

Move to the same tablespae as_it_was_before and collect stats again.
And, SEARCH before posting.
THis topic is handled numerous times ( An i am getting tired of parroting this in recent times Smile

This was not a solution , this was just an input on 10g feature.

I said 10g even better

Check your application - it may keep rowids of the table as data in some other table(s) ( ERP does it a lot, but it's not a "usual" application behavior).
In that case - you can NOT reorg it, because rowids will change.

HTH.

Thanks Michel,

I just ran the following script

DECLARE
total_blocks number;
total_bytes number;
unused_blocks number;
unused_bytes number;
last_used_extent_file_id number;
last_used_extent_block_id number;
last_used_block number;
begin
DBMS_SPACE.UNUSED_SPACE('SHAHNAZ', 'XYZ', 'TABLE', total_blocks => total_blocks ,
total_bytes => total_bytes,
unused_blocks =>unused_blocks,
unused_bytes => unused_bytes,
last_used_extent_file_id => last_used_extent_file_id,
last_used_extent_block_id =>last_used_extent_block_id ,
last_used_block => last_used_block );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'total_blocks '|| total_blocks);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'total_bytes '|| total_bytes);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'unused_block '|| unused_blocks);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ( 'unused_bytes '|| unused_bytes);
end;

BUT it is giving like

total_blocks 2578
total_bytes 45298483
unused_block 0
unused_bytes 0

I know this table is taking too much time to query eventhough it is having minimum records!!!

Thanks.

This shows you the blocks that never been used (none here).
You may have blocks that have been used but are empty now.

Use dbms_space.space_usage.

Thanks

when i see the value of full_blocks it shows less blocks compared to dba_segments block column. Is the procedure dbms_space.space_usage is checking till last analyzed?

Thanks.

You also have partially used blocks and empty blocks.
dbms_space.space_usage checks what is current.
