The best way would be to export the database with compress=y and drop the table s and import the databack. You need not drop the tablespaces and recreating them. Try it on a single table first and check for defragmentation. If your tablespaces are well designed you may only need to do it for some very dynamic tables on a regular basis. Hope this helps. dynamic tables.Hope this helps. Ravi Received on Mon May 20 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
