Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Re-claiming the space from Table after deleteion
Only some of the space will be available, remember some of the blocks may not have made it back onto the free list.
It could be minor, I don't really know, but don't expect to get back all the space you want to see.

Also is this really a problem. In the next month you are going to
import more rows which will use the deleted space anyway.

sounds like a candidate for partitioning.
