I'm having trouble with a database on SQL7.0. I'm used with shrinking a big log file but it's the first time i encounter this problem with a data file! The .mdf takes up to 5Go!!! It's supposed to take at most 1 Go.
First, there's 2Go of unallocated freespace and
there's also another 2Go of allocated but unused space...how can i truncate this file and replace the data pages in order then shrink this to be a 1Go file approximatly?
