RE: [Sydney-Oracle] 90% of the blocks under HWM are over 75% free, but new records are still pushing up the HWM

Funny, just spent the afternoon reorganizing some of our tables with similar problem!  J

 

An example:

SQL> @gdstst

Enter DWDEVTEAM tname=>f_gl_monthly_balance_sl

 

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

I’ve got all tablespaces in LOCAL but with UNIFORM: different sizes depending how big the tables are in that tablespace. That way I can move a table around without any concern that it’ll fit in available free space as all “free” slots are same size.

In our case, this is caused by extensive DELETEs, followed by INSERT with APPEND hint, for block inserts. 

All new rows go beyond current HWM and it never gets reset because DELETE doesn’t reset it.

Slowly getting developers to change code to not use APPEND, or use it only in conjunction with TRUNCATE.
