Database not releasing space even after all records have been deleted

[Ravi]

Hi: The diskspace keeps showing high usage even after I have deleted all 
records from all of the forms in my remedy instance. DBA is asking me to 
run a truncate. But I remember being told in remedy training not do do 
anything from sql prompt. I saw one email  
(http://listserv.rbugs.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0709&L=arslist&P=R220861&I=-3&X=23F4FB0752F26A51E6&Y=ravinm%40cox.net) 
which does run steps from the sql prompt. Can someone confirm if i can 
actually run these (copy to a temp table, truncate the original table 
and copy the stuff back to the orginal table) from sql prompt without 
impacting Remedy operations?

TIA
Ravi
