Yes, the database size won't decrease it size until its reorganized.

For reorganizing read Note 646681 - Reorganizing tables with BRSPACE

hi,

Yes, when you empty a bucket, the size of the bucket is still the same...

The question is now : Do you need a smaller bucket (reorganize database) or will you have very soon to transport the same amount of water (don't reorganize) ?
