If I remember rightly, deleting rows from the table does NOT free up tablespace. In order to do that you have to trunctate the table (although this of course deletes all data from the table)...I can't for the life of me remember how you adjust the space the table is actually using after doing a delete...(to everyone else) would an analyze work?

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 ?
Thanks
rukmini
