Hi,

I am running SHRINKDATABASE on ~700GB database. It has been running for about 48 hours. Is this normal?

Thanks
Dan

TOO Worst practice. All your tables will be fragmented and again it will take days to rebuild index which will fillup your log file like crazy.

How much free space did your database have when you started?
