Essentially you have not gained any freespace. If possible you could export remaining data truncate table then re-import. Correct me if I am wrong here. Rick -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 7:41 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi All, I have deleted 3 lakhs records from a large table. But there is no effect on tablespace i.e. before I delete the data freespace in TS is 100MB , after deletion also it is showing 100MB. What could be the reason ? How to get the freespace after deleting the data ?
