Hi Deepak,

Some more time would have to be spent to explain this in full detail.

In a nutshell, deleted space is not immediately reduced to a minimum size
because inserts are more regular. If you want to minimize your database
structure after extensive updates, you can call OPTIMIZE (ALL).

Hope this helps,
Christian
