    That's true, scheduled or regular shrink is a bad practice, in paper.

    Sometimes there isn't enough time to fix the App and we need to solve things on the run. Change an app architecture could take months... sometimes a DBA must bend some "best practices" to keep things smooth enough for the business.

    Cheers,

    I agree with your point, but therefore shrinking all databases is not a good solution. You should then, and only if no other options are available, shrink only those databases that are giving trouble. If all databases are having trouble... Very bad design of all the databases...
