Anyone know how to tell how many bytes\meg a table occupies ? Im trying to get some type of sizing for the size of a table.

Kevin,

The DBA_SEGMENTS table will give you the bytes taken up by the extents of a table. That is to say AQUIRED space, not OCCUPIED space. While you're in there, you can look at the space AQUIRED by it's indexes.

To estimate the OCCUPIED space, perform an ANALYZE COMPUTE on the table, then, from DBA_TABLES, multiply the number of rows by the average row length. This is a bit crude as not all blocks are filled to capacity but it will give you a better number than the ones from thin air.
