| HiI have database on GoDaddy.com (which i do NOT have admin roles), they just allow databases to grow till 200MB.my database size is 112MB now. to avoid any problems i had to stop inserting in AuditLog Table and truncate its 350K records.after doing that I got 85MB as unallocated space.I dont have permission to use DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(0)is there any other way to claim that space back?will MS SQL Server re-use it for other tables ? ( the AuditLog Table is no longer usable )what options do i have?Thanks |

| Unallocated means unused, so that space will be available for any new data you insert. As long as you regularly purge data you should be fine.Other options are to create additional databases for extra data, and find another host besides GoDaddy. |
