Removes the logically deleted rows from a load isolated (LDI) table or a join index. You use this option to reclaim the space occupied by the deleted rows. You should collect statistics when you perform this operation on an LDI table or a join index. Reclaiming space on a regular basis improves query performance on the LDI table or a join index. This operation physically deletes those rows that are marked as logically deleted. The corresponding secondary indexes are maintained.
You must have the DROP TABLE privilege to perform this operation.
An EXCLUSIVE lock is placed on the table to perform the deletion.
