Oracle database on chevre.

 Steve,

      I also heard conflicting advice on this topic. From my experience by
 now, I think if the the table contains many records, it is better
 (faster) to drop it and then re-create it than to delete all of the data
 in the table. Both cases seem do not waste disk space.
