Hi Seema,
In a word NO. From the documentation:
Use the deallocate_unused_clause to explicitly deallocate unused space at the end of
the table,
partition or subpartition, overflow data segment, LOB data segment, or LOB index and
makes the space
available for other segments in the tablespace. Yo can free only unused space above
the high water
mark (that is, the point beyound which database blocks have not yet been formatted to
receive data).
Another lister provided you with the best solution i know of:
1. copy data to a holding table
create table holding_table nologging as select * from my_table_that_is_too_big;
2. truncate the table
truncate table my_table_that_is_too_big;
3. copy the data over
insert into my_table_that_is_too_big select * from holding_table;
4. drop the holding table
drop table holding_table;

Seema,
The table has set it'd HWM where the old data resided. The easiest?
method of recovering the space is to export the table and then truncate
the table followed by importing the table data back into the table. The
truncate function will remove all of the data and re-establish the size
back to original.

Hi
I deleted millions of rows from diffrent tables and I have not seen any
impact on database size.What I have to do to get that free space?
Is it necessary to shutdown the database?
Thx
