Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Administering Reclaiming deleted but unused LOB space in SQL 2005 RE: Reclaiming deleted but unused LOB space in SQL 2005

  • Indeed, the cleantable isn't common with your request.

    I was especially aiming for:

    There is a known issue where on a database having a LOB data in it, the SHRINK operation will only shrinks one empty LOB extent at a time. This is by design. And hence we may have to shrink multiple times to release the space to operating system. This behavior is because we do not deallocate the LOB pages; we save them for the next time we may need to insert LOB data. In certain cases, these allocated but empty LOB pages may accumulate. Again, this is by design.

    This was something new for me with regards to LOB space handling.
