Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: High Water Mark
the HWM is the maximum amount of data that has been stored in the given
object (table, index, etc), just like the high water mark on a river pole is
the highest point the river has ever reached. The only way the HWM can be
reset on tables is by truncating the table...deleting records does NOT reset
the HWM.

Roy
