CREATE TABLE test_lob (
    id                NUMBER
  , file_name         VARCHAR2(45)
  , image             BLOB
  , timestamp         DATE
);

SELECT table_name, column_name, segment_name, a.bytes
FROM dba_segments a JOIN dba_lobs b
USING (owner, segment_name)
where B.TABLE_NAME = 'TEST_LOB';

[The output it is showing 65536 bytes for column image although no data is inserted in the table. What actually this size signify. Is it Blob locater]
Thanks in advance!
Samiran

When you create a physical object it has a minimum size even if there is nothing inside it.
