    Hi, thanks for your input. If this is the expected behavior of the shrink command, then the documentation is wrong or misleading:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190488(v=SQL.90).aspx

    The database cannot be made smaller than the minimum size of the database. The minimum size is the size specified when the database is originally created, or the last size explicitly set by using a file size changing operation such as DBCC SHIRNKFILE or ALTER DATABASE.

    So the question is whether there's something wrong the documentation or the command itself?

    Well then, the documention is wrong - not the command.
