    In a nutshell, how would you describe a table fragmentation to your manager who has no oracle background

    tell him to imagine a ruler, this is a datafile.

    tell him between 1 and 5 cm's is a table, between 6 and 10 is another table.

    Add some rows to table 1. The table is now 1 to 5 cm's and 11 to 13 cm's.

    Add some rows to table 2.

    Table 1 has a chunk at the start of the ruler and near the end.

    Table 2 is also in 2 chunks.

    Over time a table can be twenty little chunks of info or in pieces(fragments). This is called fragmentation.

    The manager would not ask that question at all.
