what answer do you expect comparing a database with a gas tank
while the gas tank is the hard-drive? if i take some gas out of
the tank (hard-drive)  i expect that there is space for new one

my frustration is people like you comparing a database with a gas tank
while not understand that the gas tank is the underlying hard-disk

if you stop make laughable comparison you will not get back frustration
