Well, whatever the type happens to be, how to I move this segment?Doesn't the segment move when the corresponding table is moved to new tablespace?
At least that is what I see.

Table dropped.If you want to be able to move the segment to a different tablespace than the table, I guess that is not possible. Oracle only allows LOBs to be stored in separate tablespace than the corresponding table provided they are defined as LOBs explcitly during table creation, unlike the LOB created by oracle internally as a result of column datatype being ANYDATA as in this case.
