Folks,
A tutorial question...
I was playing around with dbspaces during the past few days. I created a brand new dbspace (a single chunk). So, it is completely empty (except for 53 pages [reserved pages, I presume]). I then dbimported a database (from a prior dbexport). All the database objects were in this single dbspace (tables, indexes, simple large objects, and catalog). Nothing from any other database was put into this dbspace.
Then, I DROPed the database.
Server Studio confirms zero objects now present in the chunk. But, it also shows 4003 pages of space as "used".
I can't "repack" or "shrink" because those functions require a table name as an input parameter, and no tables are present.
The question is, after dropping the database, why am I not exactly back to where I was when I first created the dbspace, and before importing anything into it? That is, why don't I, once again, see an empty dbspace (with 53 pages used)?
Thank you.
