select segment_name as table_name, sum(bytes)
from user_segments
where segment_type = 'TABLE'
group by segment_name;
from user_segments
where segment_type = 'TABLE'
group by segment_name;
ishando,
do the above query retrieve the space allocated to that table or space occupied by the table data on the disc at this point of time???

It is the space allocated to the table.
Not sure that you can easily see how much space is free in the allocated space.
I believe you can you dba|user_free_space to find the blocks/bytes that are above the high water mark, but there isn't a way to see how much space there is below it.
Though its been a while since I looked at this and I don't have the scripts I came up with with me ...

hi
the query given by ishando is the space occupied by the table in the tablespace which is there in ur hard disk. so try to get the total space occupied in a given segment and then minus it from the total tablespace size. that should give u the free space and also the space occupied in a tablespace.
select sum(bytes)
from user_segments
where tablespace_name = <tablespace name>;
get the size of the tablespace by searching for the dbf file
subtract the value ie total tablespace size - sum(bytes) will give u the free space and sum(bytes) gives u the space occupied in the tablespace

My preferred way to do this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SHOW_SPACE

p_owner in varchar2 default user,
p_type in varchar2 default 'INDEX' )

l_total_blocks number;
l_total_bytes number;
l_unused_blocks number;
l_unused_bytes number;
l_LastUsedExtFileId number;
l_LastUsedExtBlockId number;
l_LAST_USED_BLOCK number;
procedure p( p_label in varchar2, p_num in number )
is
begin
dbms_output.put_line( rpad(p_label,40,'.') ||
p_num );
end;
begin
dbms_space.free_blocks
( segment_owner => p_owner,
segment_name => p_segname,
