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

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.
