Chuan,

Are you sure you were using the TRUNCATE TABLE command rather than DELETE It sounds as if you are running a delete, especially if the HWM was not shrunk

Hi All,

    Is there any way to speed up the truncating a big table with 12 million rows?

Basically, I implemented truncating that big table on Production, but it affected the performance much, so I had to stop it in the middle of way. All the rows were truncated but the HWM was not shrunk at all. I want to do it again to get the space back. Is there any way to speed up this process?

Platform: Oracle EE8.0.6 and Solaris 2.7

Thanks a lot in advance.

Chuan
