RE: table reorganizations

Jolene,

 

Tables should never *need* to be reorganized.  This is an old falacy.  If you know how big a table is going to grow, say in a year, then place it in a Locally Managed tablespace with extent sizes to hold enough data for one year (say 1M).

 

You should never have to reorganize a table.

What SQL statement do you use to identify tables that need reorganization?

 

How do you identify tables that are used in full table scans?  How often do you run this query?

 

Thanks,

Jolene
