To re-size the DATAFILE the only way is to lower the High Water Mark. This can be done by moving extents to other Tablespace or the same Tablespace. Check the size of Tablesapce before moving. In production database it’s not easy to move table, LOB etc singe many user can accessing these objects. Index can be move by rebuilding online in production database. After moving the tables it’s necessary to rebuild the UNUSABLE indexes on the tables.
