Sergey - One factor you may want to consider is the timeframe of your decision. If it is just a decision for your Lawson box, then that isn't so critical. It is pretty easy to move Lawson from one system to another. Last fall we were looking at making a decision for all our systems. We are

Hi Seema, In a word NO.  From the documentation: Use the deallocate_unused_clause to explicitly deallocate unused space at the end of the table, partition or subpartition, overflow data segment, LOB data segment, or LOB index and makes the space available for other segments in the tablespace.

RE: SPACE FREE HOW?

2002-01-18 Thread Sunil_Nookala
Seema, with alter table deallocate, you can reclaim only the space above the high water mark in a segment. The only way the high water mark can be moved downward is to truncate the segment or drop and recreate the segment. Sunil Nookala Dell Computer Corp. Austin, TX -Original Message
