Alan and Bob,
I thought that deleted records were marked as deleted in the record entry
table and the actual data freed. This means that the deleted records are
not "moved", but retain their position in the record entry table.
Also, the documentation states that the record entries that are marked as
deleted hang around until the hot-sync. During hot-sync the entries are
removed. I presume this happens whether or not the application has a
conduit. Do you know if this is the case?
