| Is it the database or log that has grown? If the log it's probably because someone has done some large updates.If the data file have a look at DBCC INDEXDEFRAG and DBCC REINDEX.You may have fragmentation problems. Defraging the clustered index will defragment the data pages.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
