In Oracle 8.0 I want to resize the data files. I saw the details of datafile through enterprise manager. One of the file size is 1.4GB whereas it show only 69MB of file occupied. I tried to resize it but it showed me error ORA-03297. Please help.

The area you are try to trim has extents, may be due to fragmentation, thus, Oracle cannot resize the datafile because of the segments or extents that are there.
ORA-03297: file contains num blocks of data beyond requested RESIZE value

Dear Kassim,
Thanks a lot for replying. I know that the problem is due to extents.Once there use to be large data in the file. Then I dropped segments containing large amount of data without deleting data first. Now I want to reduce the size of data files. Is there any method to do that?

If you know the total amount of space used, then you can export the objects, shrink the data file and import the objects. During an import, space is allocated in sequential order.
Good Luck.
