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.
