Release of space after delete/truncate table

718305Jul 6 2010 — edited Jul 6 2010
Hello,

How does release of space after delete/truncate table works? Is the space used before deletion released once delete is complete or not? Will I see the space occupied by deleted table as free in dba_segments or will I need to reorganize the table (drop and recreate again?). Reason why I am asking is that I can see table with 0 rows, but in dba_segment I can see it is occupying few gigabytes....

Thank you
