File Size

  • I have a Old database which was created way back in 2006, it had many data..

    & that DB is been moved and used for other purpose..

    When i see that the Data in the DB is less but the File Size is huge :w00t:

    How do i go & make the DB file size less????

    But the DB should be operational...

    IF i shrink DB then after that

    what all activities i ahve to performa on it????

  • A once-off shrink to a sensible size (not as small as possible), then rebuild all indexes.
