    UPDATE TABLE_DETAILS SET EXTENTS = (SELECT EXTENTS FROM DBA_SEGMENTS WHERE SEGMENT_NAME IN (SELECT DISTINCT(SEGMENT_NAME) FROM DBA_SEGMNETS WHERE SEGMENT_NAME =NAME ))


    I want to populate the table TABLE_DETAILS column extents with the number of extents for DBA segments .Distinct is used as there are more than 1 segment for some tables .


    This SQL seems to hang

    table name is wrong - dba_segments, not dba_segmnets - in the last "from"

    It works for me :

    UPDATE TABLE_DETAILS SET EXTENT = (SELECT EXTENTS FROM DBA_SEGMENTS WHERE
    SEGMENT_NAME IN ('FILE$' )) ;

    0 rows updated.

    Elapsed: 00:00:00.00

    Why are you using 2 nested queries for the same purpose ?

    what is file$

    I am not specifying any names here but the query has to pick the names up from NAME column already in table_details .

    regards

    I guess it is because of 'NAME' being a reseved word. This query does not hang :

    UPDATE TABLE_DETAILS td SET td.EXTENT = (SELECT EXTENTS FROM DBA_SEGMENTS WHERE
    SEGMENT_NAME IN (SELECT DISTINCT(SEGMENT_NAME) FROM DBA_SEGMENTS
    WHERE SEGMENT_NAME = td.name));

    You could try this:

    create table extent_details as
    select count(segment_name) seg_count, sum(extents) sum_ext, segment_name
    from dba_segments
    group by segment_name
    order by 2 desc

    SQL> select * from extent_details;


    SEG_COUNT SUM_EXT SEGMENT_NAME
    ---------- ---------- ---------------
    1 79 SOURCE$
    1 39 I_SOURCE1
    1 28 SYSROL
    1 22 IDL_UB1$
    1 21 IDL_UB2$
    12 12 CARS
    1 12 VIEW$
    1 9 ARGUMENT$
    1 9 C_OBJ#
    1 8 I_COL1
    1 8 SYSTEM

    Let me explain what I am doing

    create table Table_details (Name varchar2(81), num_Rows Number(10), extents number(10))

    insert into Table_details (Name ,num_Rows) select DISTINCT(table_name) ,num_rows from dba_tables

    Just want to populate extents column from dba_segments for those particular tables

    Thanks !!!


    UPDATE TABLE_DETAILS td SET td.EXTENTS = (SELECT EXTENTS FROM DBA_SEGMENTS WHERE
    SEGMENT_NAME IN (SELECT DISTINCT(SEGMENT_NAME) FROM DBA_SEGMENTS
    WHERE SEGMENT_NAME = td.name));

    Has been running for > 5 min for 300 rows . don't expect iot to stop . please let me know for a better SQL
