I w'd like how the DB growth impacts the actual disk space. For example, I have a table with one textfield, char(20) and I insert 1000000 records. My DB size w'd be approximately, 20+28(Overhead)=48*1000000=48MB. What is the actual effect on the physical HDD. I w'd appreciate your help. Thanks, Uma __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
