    Don't shrink it. It'll just make matters worse... MUCH worse and you still have disk space.

    What's your maintenance for indexes and do you have any HEAP tables that are being updated/deleted from?

    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.
