Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

How to reduce DB size?

Apr 11, 2012 6:13AM edited Apr 11, 2012 8:15PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

Dear Oracle,

After I made data migration from product DB to a testing database, I found the size of testing DB was too big to handle.

How to reduce the DB size?

I can drop some partitions from partition tables.

I can delete used records from some big data tables.

However, I was not sure it will work for decreasing DB size.

Please advise me.

Thank you

Liz
