Hi Dear Guys:

I have database which has a tablespace that was growing larger in size.I checked the segments and saw one table was growing day by day(this table can be truncated, no worries about the data in it!)

Tablesize=10GB.

My diskspace where this datafile exist:

/u01 - 60GB Avail,58GB Used,300M Free 99% Used.

Now please let me know your ideas on how can we release the 10GB just by removing all rows from this table.
(This table has constraints and indexes on it and will be used for the next runs to insert fresh data)

Thanks for your time in advance

The short answer is "NO way"
A longer answer is "Not easily"
It appears you are lacking in understanding how tablespaces function.
I suggest you take some time & read the fine Concepts Manual

Thanks for your notes.
I am looking how can we release logical space to physical level that can be used for some other things or in oracle itself.Sorry If I am wrong somewhere.

Thanks a lot

What can be done depends upon Oracle version & HWM in tablespace, too.
