Explanation:
SPACE_USAGE Procedures
The first form of the procedure shows the space usage of data blocks under the segment
High Water Mark. You can calculate usage for LOBs, LOB PARTITIONS and LOB
SUBPARTITIONS. This procedure can only be used on tablespaces that are created with
auto segment space management. The bitmap blocks, segment header, and extent map
blocks are not accounted for by this procedure. Note that this overload cannot be used on
SECUREFILE LOBs.
The second form of the procedure returns information about SECUREFILE LOB space
usage. It will return the amount of space in blocks being used by all the SECUREFILE LOBs
in the LOB segment. The procedure displays the space actively used by the LOB column,
freed space that has retention expired, and freed space that has retention unexpired. Note
that this overload can be used only on SECUREFILE LOBs.
