    Truncate with Reuse Storage

    Guys,

    I have read few documents and notes from forum, which says to improve TRUNCATE operation it is good to use 'REUSE STORAGE' option.

    I would like to clarify the followings

    1) If multiple tables are associated with one single tablespace, and if I truncate one table with reuse storage ---
    a) Is it true that all the old blocks only be used
    for new inserts in that table only?
    b) Can other tables in that tablespace can use those
    released blocks?
    c) What about the HWM? Will that reduce?

    2) If I have a single table associated with single tablespace
    a) Reuse storage will not reduce the current HWM even
    after truncating - is that true? for example if my the HWM
    is set to 2GB now, and if I truncate table with Reuse
    Storage will that help to reduce my HWM?
    b) Will this option help to defragment my tablespace.

    Thanks

    After "truncate table reuse storage" command is executed, the HWM will be reset to the beginning block. Hence, new rows will reuse the deleted space.
