Hi all,

we just collecting Snapshots in one of our most frequented database. As far as I know the results are written in the tables in PERFSTAT. Now I delete a big amount of snapshots with sppurge.sql, but the used space in PERFSTAT will not go down.
Is there any way to delete the data without deleting from any table ?

kind regards
Uwe

Hi,
The tables in perfstat are just like any other DB tables. They have a High Water Mark HWM which is the last block to where data was written. If you have purged data this HWM does not move. This HWM can be lowered by

1 - truncating the table(s)
2 - rebuilding

I think.

Hi Alan,

I tjhought if you have an Script, which works a longer time (around 5 mins for 250 snapshots) it does something in the tables .... but not really deleting.
Okay, than I humst reor all tables by hand or by scheduled job.

thanks
Uwe

Why? So it can expand again? Seems like a waste of time and resources. Accept the fact that statspack-data occupies space.
