What is REORG? When is it used?

Post by Krishna » Sun Mar 29, 2009 11:22 pm

REORG reorganizes data on physical storage to reclutser rows, positioning overflowed rows in their proper sequence, to reclaim space, to restore free space. It is used after heavy updates, inserts and delete activity and after segments of a segmented tablespace have become fragmented.
