I have two tables containing a BLOB cloumn as; -- supposed to be able to handle up to about 16MB CRETAE TABLE gallery1 ( id INTEGER, title VARCHAR(255), mediumimage MEDIUMBLOB );
-- supposed to be able to handle up to about 4GB CRETAE TABLE gallery2 ( id INTEGER, title VARCHAR(255), largeimage LONGBLOB ); Both table show the size about 48KB initially. And I added a <16MB(about 7,863KB) image into the table, "gallery1" and a <4GB(about 11,620KB) into the table, "gallery2", respectively. The size of gallery1, i,e, "gallery1.db", shows 8,232KB and the size of gallery2, i.e., "gallery2.db", shows 11,712KB. Each table contains only one entry. And I deleted both entries from two tables. So both tables contain no entry. However, the size of tables remain same as after insertion made. Q: How come the size of table does not decrease after deletion? Thank you.
