I am trying to find the size of a table in my schema. I've tried to find through dba_extent as follows.
select segment_name,sum(bytes)/(1024*1024) size from dba_extent where segment_type='TABLE'
and segment_name = 'mytablename'
and owner ='myschemaname'
group by segment_name;
It gives as 2 MB, but no way it is 2MB and I've seen its size as some 800MB in the logs while i was exporting schema.It gave the same result when i query the dba_segments. Could anyone help where I gone wrong.thanks for your time.
