Hi Rafi

This is the problem many big databases facing!!If you clean up the database every year and reorganizing the database You would't have see this scenario. For the matter fact iam also facing same problem, My one table grown like 22G, I simply can't do any thing?? Iam doing just for Indexes Rebuild for getting what ever space I can avail. As you said you deleted 40% of data!! You can reorganize your Indexes to avail some space.

Other wise Export to Tape and reimport it, But here again problem when you say compress=y, due to heavy data Its another big headche??

May be our friends give some ideas???????????????????

Thanks
Raghu.
