After the delete operation, I found that the size of the database went up 500M. after I run sp_spaceused on the table, it tells me that about 1G is reserved for that table. For the whole database, about 2.5G are reserved. Disk space is a big deal for us since they are very expensive RAID disks. I've checked everywhere and it seems the space allocation is internal to SQL 2000. However, I still expect some kind of behind-the-door-tricks that can free those reserved space for me. Thanks." |
