Huge msdb - not backup logs

    OK ... now we're getting somewhere 🙂  I used sp_spaceused to check every single table individually and finally found the REAL culprits (it was always going to be one of the last ones :-|) ...sysdtspackagelog (612mb) and sysdtssteplog (3.2gb).  So I did a bit more reading (don't want you guys to do all the work :-&gt and found that this is turned on through the dts designer and there is a handy "delete logs" button.  I'm a bit nervous clicking it though - are these logs just used for debugging, or could deleting them have wider implications?

    Thanks again

    Tom.

    Glad to hear that your problem is solved. Glad that I learned a new command (DBCC UPDATEUSAGE ('msdb') WITH COUNT_ROWS) Funny to hear that the problem table is another than we stucked

    Yeah thanks very much for your help ... I've learnt plenty too.  I've gone ahead and deleted the logs so I hope the next post here is not "whatever you do, don't delete those logs" ... It took about 3 hours to complete.  I have just shrunk the database which is now 150mb

    Thanks again for your help ... if you're ever in Brisbane, Australia I'll buy you a beer or three
