Thanks Jeff,
So with current archiving method we can just delete the data and nothing much right. It wont give any improvement i was hoping for? Also when we do shrink in what all way it affects the DB? Is there any best practice for shrinking , As I mentioned earlier the table itself is 18Gb and deleting the data will increase the log file also. When we do shrink do we need to mention the size (Total size 40 GB (mdf 30 + log 10) and out of it this table holds 18GB) to which the size has to be reduced.
