- When you issues a drop or delete command in oracle (then a commit) does
- oracle free up the disk space to be reused by someone else or does it just
- move on to the next block it thinks has been usused? If it doen't "free"
- the disk is there a way i can tell oracle that I'm really done with it and
- let it reuse the space. I seem to notice that when I create some very
- large tablespaces after a lot of drops, creates and deletes i run out of
- tablespace!

- thanks!
