    I have an alternative to it.Please let me know if that will work.I will add another data file and move that specific table into that data file and then shrink that particular data file after purging data from that table.Lemme know if my option of shrinking data file is correct.

    Don't shrink datafiles unless you plan to rebuild or reorgize the indexes. Shrinks cause massive fragmentation.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
