Hi,
well this is why DBAs are still needed
Actually what you want to achive is not the simplest task in DB2.
First off runn a reorg command on all the tables where you have deleted a lot of rows. Reorganization is done on table level in DB2 LUW (Linux, Unix and Windows).
So the command (from the shell ) could b
db2 reorg table <schemaname>.<tabname>
This will physically delete the rows which you just have marked as deleted so far.
Secondly because the space is allocated by tablespaces - in your situation by an automatic storage tablespace try running following command to reduce the size of the tablespace and returning it to the file system:
db2 alter tablspace <tablespacename> reduce
Any further reduction of space is a lot more work and needs someone with DB2 skills.
kind regards
Michael
