At the end of the year, it is necessary for me to delete A LOT of rows from certain Oracle tables (up to a million). I notice that even if I delete every row, the now empty table is very slow, as if something wasn't completely deleted. If I TRUNCATE the table, this problem is solved, but, unfortunately, I don't want to delete every row in the table... but well over half of them. After doing a huge delete, is there a way of bringing the table "up to speed"?
Any help would be most appreciated.
