SQL ORACLE (3/20/2013)Shrinking the database such that it has zero available space is requested by our users. They use ithe database for creating reports.
You're the database professional - it's OK, indeed expected, for you to tell users that they are making an inappropriate request. Users should only be concerned what data is in the database; management of free space is your job.
Unfortunately, I am asking a solution not asking why I want to do so.
Finding out why you want to do something helps us to understand your problem, and perhaps even propose a solution that you hadn't considered.
