GOAL:
How to decrease the size of the database after purging records in Progress 8.x
GOAL:
How to remove white spaces from a database.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x
FIX:
The only way to compact the data is to perform a dump and load of the database to a new database structure. Procopy, probkup and prorest can not remove white space from the database. These utilities copy the database block for block. Aany whitespace which exists in the block is exactly duplicated.
