Table Fragmentation

Table Fragmentation


What is Table fragmentation


When rows are not stored contiguously, or if rows are split onto more than one page, performance decreases because these rows require additional page accesses. Table fragmentation is distinct from file fragmentation.

When lots of DML operation apply on tables then tables is fragmented.
because DML is not release free space from table below HWM.

Hint: HWM is indicator for USED BLOCKS in database. Blocks below the high water mark (used blocks) have at least once contained data. This data might have been deleted.
Since Oracle knows that blocks beyond the high water mark don't have data, it only reads blocks up to the high water mark in a full table scan.

DDL statement always reset HWM.


How to find table fragmentation



SQL> select count(*) from big1;

1000000 rows selected.

SQL> delete from big1 where rownum <= 300000;

300000 rows deleted.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> update big1 set object_id = 0 where rownum <=350000;

342226 rows updated.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('SCOTT','BIG1');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.


Table Size ( with fragmented)




SQL> select table_name,round((blocks*8),2)||'kb' "size"
2 from user_tables
3 where table_name = 'BIG1';

TABLE_NAME size
------------------------------ ------------------------------------------
BIG1 72952kb


Actual data in table



SQL> select table_name,round((num_rows*avg_row_len/1024),2)||'kb' "size"
2 from user_tables
3 where table_name = 'BIG1';

TABLE_NAME size
------------------------------ ------------------------------------------
BIG1 30604.2kb

Note= 72952 – 30604 = 42348 Kb is wasted space in table

The difference between two values is 60% and Pctfree 10% (default) so table is 50% extra space which is wasted because there is no data.



How to reset HWM / remove fragemenation


For that we need to reorganize fragmented table

We have four options to reorganize fragmented tables

1. alter table … move + rebuild indexes
2. export / truncate / import
3. create table as select ( CTAS)
4. dbms_redefinition



Option: 1 “alter table … move + rebuild indexes”



SQL> alter table BIG1 move;

Table altered.

SQL> select status,index_name from user_indexes
2 where table_name = 'BIG1';

STATUS INDEX_NAME
-------- ------------------------------
UNUSABLE BIGIDX

SQL> alter index bigidx rebuild;

Index altered.

SQL> select status,index_name from user_indexes
2 where table_name = 'BIG1';

STATUS INDEX_NAME
-------- ------------------------------
VALID BIGIDX


SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('SCOTT','BIG1');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> select table_name,round((blocks*8),2)||'kb' "size"
2 from user_tables
3 where table_name = 'BIG1';

TABLE_NAME size
------------------------------ ------------------------------------------
BIG1 38224kb

SQL> select table_name,round((num_rows*avg_row_len/1024),2)||'kb' "size"
2 from user_tables
3 where table_name = 'BIG1';

TABLE_NAME size
------------------------------ ------------------------------------------
BIG1 30727.37kb



Option: 2 “Create table as select”




SQL> create table big2 as select * from big1;

Table created.

SQL> drop table big1 purge;

Table dropped.

SQL> rename big2 to big1;

Table renamed.

SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('SCOTT','BIG1');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> select table_name,round((blocks*8),2)||'kb' "size"
2 from user_tables
3 where table_name = 'BIG1';

TABLE_NAME size
------------------------------ ------------------------------------------
BIG1 85536kb

SQL> select table_name,round((num_rows*avg_row_len/1024),2)||'kb' "size"
2 from user_tables
3 where table_name = 'BIG1';

TABLE_NAME size
------------------------------ ------------------------------------------
BIG1 68986.97kb

SQL> select status from user_indexes
2 where table_name = 'BIG1';

no rows selected

SQL> --Note we need to create all indexes.



Option: 3 “export / truncate / import”



SQL> select table_name, round((blocks*8),2)||'kb' "size"
2 from user_tables
3 where table_name = 'BIG1';

TABLE_NAME size
------------------------------ ------------------------------------------
BIG1 85536kb

SQL> select table_name, round((num_rows*avg_row_len/1024),2)||'kb' "size"
2 from user_tables
3 where table_name = 'BIG1';

TABLE_NAME size
------------------------------ ------------------------------------------
BIG1 42535.54kb

SQL> select status from user_indexes where table_name = 'BIG1';
