Christof,

I've read the Article on Wiki that David started and you added to. It's great to have all of that information in a single place.

Allowing that THIS thread has as its focus the bloat caused by index node splitting and the like (deleted TAG bloat exists, of course, but that is likely a very rare event in production systems and their larger tables), I surmise that VFP7SP1's REINDEX command simply no longer has any of that kind of bloat to eliminate. Thus the differences in my observations between VFP6SP5 (and FPD 2.6?) and VFP7SP1.

Is that a correct interpretation?
Thanks
