| Reindexing take a lot of space to perform (I don't recall the exact allocation but it may be 1 to 1), And by shrinking your data file after reindexing, it defeats the reindex as it will totally defrage the indexes again.....Terry-- Procrastinate now! |

| It takes log space during reindexing.You are unnecessarily causing performance overhead by shrinking after reindexing as Tosscrosby said? What is recovery model of your DB? How critical is database? |
