GOAL:
When records are deleted, do the blocks become Free Blocks?
GOAL:
When records are deleted from a database, do the blocks they used to occupy become free blocks?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
FIX:
No. When records are deleted from a database the blocks they used to occupy do not become Free Blocks. Blocks that contain data are referred to as RM (Record Management) Blocks. When records are deleted from an RM Block they become empty RM Blocks and simply migrate to the RM chain. Once an RM block, always an RM Block.
