Oracle DBA Interview Questions Part 1 2007-10-04 14:04:51 If a table space shows excessive fragmentation what are some methods to defragment the table space? (7.1,7.2 and 7.3 only)
In Oracle
7.0 to 7.2 The use of the ‘alter session set events ‘immediate trace name coalesce level ts# command is the easiest way to defragment contiguous free space fragmentation. The ts# parameter corresponds to the ts# value found in the ts$ SYS table. In version 7.3 the alter table space coalesce is best. If the free space isn’t contiguous then export, drop and import of the table space contents may be the only way to reclaim non-contiguous free space.
How can you tell if a table space has excessive fragmentation
If a select against the dba_free_space table shows that the count of a tablespaces extents is greater than the count of its data files, then it is fragmented.
You see the following on a status report:
redo log space requests 23, redo log space wait time 0 Is this something to worry about? What if redo log space wait time is high? How
