Dear ALL, I have some database whose size is very big, up to 3GB. But I know the data and index is not so many. Run "sp_spaceused " on one of it "MRP_01", I get the return: database_name database_size unallocated space --------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ MRP_01 2244.94 MB 290.31 MB reserved data index_size unused ------------- ------------------ ---------------- ------------------ 2000256 KB 661352 KB 115088 KB 1223816 KB
so, the unused space "eat" a lot of space of reserved. I run "DBCC shinkdatabase " and "DBCC shinkfile", but no exciting result. Then I create a new database named "MRP_Test" with default paramater, and import all the objects & data from "MRP_01". Run " sp_spaceused " on "MRP_Test", return the result:database_name database_size unallocated space ---------------- ------------------ ------------------ MRP_Test 736.69 MB 61.30 MB reserved data index_size unused ------------- ------------------ ------------------ -------- 675024 KB 577952 KB 92920 KB 4152 KB
The Database reserved space and database_size tone down. I want to know: 1.What can grow my database ? and why "unused" is too big? 2.What can I do to keep my database thin? Thanks.---------------Thank ALL for ALL
