Freeing a tablespace [message #454997]

Hi all,
Here is my problem : I create a tablespace named ts_photos.
I create then a table on this tablespace.
Then I insert some blobs records.
The space grows up to 2 Gb.
I perform a truncate statment. Then the space grows up to 4Gb.
I re-insert the same records and the size stays in 4Gb.

The database in in archivelog mode. How can I return to the initial size (2Gb of effective data) : should I drop the tablespace and recreate it or is there another solution ?

Thank you in advance,

Amine

Current disk space costs less than $1 (one US Dollar) per GB.
How much time & effort & system resources will you expend to reclaim 2GB?

If you do nothing eventually the "free" space will be consumed.

The classic & most straight forward way is to create a new tablespace of smaller size.
Move objects from old tablespace into new tablespace.
The drop old & now empty tablespace.
Lots of movement for limited or no progress.
Oracle won't know or care that you did this.
