JoJo,

Don't let this little episode put you off the list my friend.

I have seen you post to the list on a couple of occasions and they have been valid questions. Keep reading, keep learning - stay subscribed.

Thank you all for your kind replies, and I now definitely know the correct answer to this.

Please let me reiterate that I am *not* yet an Oracle dba. I've only been to one class so far, for crying out loud! Obviously it would be better for me to just not post for a while, in any event.

No need to keep on responding to this thread.

Cheers,
JoJo

I strongly suggest you not experiment with this on your production database.

I'm a complete newbie, so I may be off-base here, but I believe that truncating a table does not delete any data from the table. It moves the cursor up, thereby closing up the "empty space" where data has previously been deleted.

To our resident Oracle Expert who just 6 months (July 26 2001) ago posted the following e-mail

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?

Kev.
