    hi i know that shrinking data base increase fragmentation , so logically shrinking data files would two result in fragmentation but does shrinking log file increases fragmentation. i hope answer is NO.

    Shrinking log file does not create any fragmentation.

    Second question is rebuilding an index reduces fragmentation but it increase size of database.I have seen increase in size of log file but does data file size to increases . Again i hope ans is No.

    Plz correct me on this

    rebuilding/re-organizing index is a fully logged operation, therefore your log will be growing during the time of rebuild/re-organize.
