You can perform an dbexport, check that it=B4s OK, after drop the =
database and
finally run dbimport.

Subject: DELETE ROWS - how to recover disk space
Hi!
When I perform this :
DELETE FROM <table> WHERE <condition>;
Rows are deleted, but I cannot recover the disk space. I
know that free rows are used later by new records, but
today my disk is more than 95% full and processing time is
excessive.
Please help me to recover disk space.
Any idea will be greatly appreciated.
Valerie.
