RE: table size.

Dear Mitchell,

If iam not mistaken the delete command does not free up the space..but it can be used in the future 4 the other records that r inserted... but incase of "Truncate" statement the tablesapce is freed of space.... u can try it out on a temporary table....

regards,
Ams.
