Structure of Fragmented Tables

Although table fragmentation is transparent to applications, as database server administrator you should be aware of how the database server allocates disk space for table fragments and how the database server identifies rows in those fragments.

Each table fragment has its own tblspace with a unique tblspace_id or fragment_id. Figure 13 shows the disk allocation for a fragmented table.
