size is incresing continuously inspite of the daily delete of rows, for tables with CLOB columns .

Hello,

I have some huge tables having clob columns.

Table size arround 100 GB and 200 GB or more.

The tables get all the time inserted data.

I delete every day all rows older than X month as a cleanup process.

But the table's size is incresing continuously every day, inspite of the daily delete of rows.

It seems that the delete of the rows doesn't make enough free space for the new inserted rows .

The same problem exists on more than one Oracle instance.

The problem concerns to tables with CLOB columns with large data size.

Is this an Oracle bug?

Howdy, Stranger!
