.db content

[Pavan Yadav]

Hi All,
Wishing you all a very HAppy New Year...

Someone please clarify my doubt as:
Whenever we store some data into database then that data will be stored in data files. Ex. d1, d2 etc. And that data file's size will not be reduced even if we delete some data from DB. But, what does .db contains & .db size depends on what criteria?

There is a forum specifically for database related questions: http://www.progresstalk.com/forumdisplay.php?37-Database-Admin

No the database size does not shrink if you delete data from it . It will free up the blocks so that when you add new data , it will not make the database size grow until it runs out of free blocks.
