Reorg is needed whenever indexed columns are updated frequently.
When indexed columns are updated frequently, then the index
for the table has to be created again.

the index again for the table.

Answer / srini
REORG will reorganise the records as per the clustered
Index/index fields,so that the system can access records
easily thru which the access cost will come down
drastically,so its always advisable to run REORG after
every mass inserts/updates/deletes on table.
