You Asked
Hi Tom 
I have seen your posting on ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT which is available in 10g. It looks a 
very nice option since we can relocate and reorganize the heap tables without any outage 
since it does not invalidate indexes. But is there any performance hit or any other 
disadvantages for using this. I would like to use this in our new application.

and we said...
Well, the tables have to be in an ASSM (Automatic Segment Space Managment) tablespace for 
this to work (so if they are not, you have to move them there first in order to do this 
over time).
It will necessarily consume processing resources on your machine while running (it will 
read the table, it will delete/insert the rows at the bottom of the table to move them 
up, it will generate redo, it will generate undo).
I would suggest benchmarking -- collect performance metrics about the table before and 
after performing the operation. You would expect full scans to operate more efficiently 
after, you would expect index range scans to either be unchanged or "better" as you have 
more rows per block packed together (less data spread). You would be looking for that to 
happen -- statspack or the tools available in dbconsole would be useful for measuring 
that (the amount of work performed by your queries over time)

row chain：When a row is too large to fit into any block, row chaining occurs. In this case, the Oracle devide the row into smaller chunks. each chunk is stored in a block along
 with the necessary poiters to retrive and assemble the entire row.
row migration：when a row is to be updated and it cannot find the necessary free space in its block, the Oracle will move the entire row into a new block and leave a pointer from the orginal block to the new location. This process is called row migration.
