Hi Ervin,

After deleting the old espace you need to execute below Shrink commands:

alter table OSSYS_ESPACE_VERSION Enable row movement;
alter table OSSYS_ESPACE_VERSION MODIFY lob (OML_FILE) (shrink space);
alter table OSSYS_ESPACE_VERSION Disable row movement;
ALTER INDEX PK_OSSYS_ESPACE_VERSION REBUILD;

Then your database size will reduce.

Hi Shasi,

Where i can execute those commands?

Thanks, 

Hi Ervin,

You can execute above commands from database editor or ask your DBA to run these commands.

Hi Ervin,

As Sashi mentioned, you would need to Shrink the files tor release the space back to the Operating System. It is not generally recommended to shrink a data file as it can cause fragmentation and thus cause performance issues. Please consider execute the Shrink operation followed by rebuilding of all the indexes in the database.

Here some help:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/databases/shrink-a-database#TsqlProcedure

i'm sorry, but i'm still confuse about this command thing. 

My environment database is almost full (90%). So using DBCleaner i deleted my old eSpace. but, even after deleted a lot of eSpace, my environment database's still almost full (90%) and didn't reduce a little bit. So, using command that Shashi mention before will reduce my database environment? and where is the database editor to execute the command in the ServiceCenter?

Thanks

Hi Ervin,

Are you using the platform on cloud or on on-premises?

You don't have access to your Platform database? Those operations are to be performed by someone with Database access and specific privileges.

You won't be able to execute that on your personal environment.

In resume, if you delete DB data that space won't be imediatly avaialable because database will grow, and it will make use of that "reserved" space.

Please let me know to Shrink commands: on database production

Hello everyone,

I have the same problem on my Personal Environment. I am not sure whether I have access to the database platform on my Personal Environment. Even if I do, I do not know how. Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Regards,

You don't have direct access to your PE (Personal Environment) database. I used DBCleaner initially, but am currently using DB Auto Maintainer to keep my PE in good shape.

Once data is deleted from the database, you need to wait for the database maintenance tasks to run that will back up, shrink, and rebuild indexes on the database. If I remember correctly, the default is that it runs once a week.

You might just need to wait a while for the change to take effect. Also, my PE database got filled with log entries and not just espace versions. Just keep in mind that it could be something else that is filling up your database as well.

No problem, Marios. Glad you got it sorted!
