Hi guys..
recently i noticed that my system tablespace has been populated to a great extent. and specifically one of the system managed table table has been populated with lot of rows. I plan to export the contents of that table and import it into another tablespace.. but is it possible to shrink the size of the system tablespace when this is done.?

Regards.

--> is it possible to shrink the size of the system tablespace ?
Yes, if it has free space then a "alter database datafile ...... resize" will do.

--> I plan to export the contents of that table and import it into another tablespace?

who is the owner of this table? I mean was it created by you, if not then do not play with it.

But if you are sure then you can anytime export/import to a new tablespace.

Read this or this

Hello tarun..
thank you so very much for your advice and help.
Ya i am the owner of the table. so i plan to use the [ schemas=myname ] parameter in the expdp / impdp process.
I guess that is ok.. ??

Again thanks

If you want to move a table to a different tablespace use
ALTER TABLE tablename MOVE tablespacename

then rebuild the indexes
