The sum of sm$ts_free.bytes and sm$ts_used.bytes is not equal to sm$ts_alloc.bytes.

What can be the reason behind it?

Hi,

There is a discussion about these views in the OTN forum. It seems the difference between sm$ts_free.bytes + sm$ts_used.bytes and sm$ts_alloc.bytes is a constant overhead. It is probably used to store tablespace header information.

Its means for all databases, this gap will exist but in my case another database is not showing this difference (no diff betwwenn sum of sm$ts_free.bytes + sm$ts_used.bytes and sm$ts_alloc.bytes). Why it showing for one and not for another?
@user269484: well, these views are not documented in the 10g version, they might be deprecated. Since they are not documented, the behaviour may vary between releases and between platforms.
