| Hi,I have a table that is occupying 30GB ( 2 billion rows) database. With some code changes I could reduce the rows drastically to 200,000 rows only. If program deletes all rows and inserts 200,000 rows, how recover back the database that has been allocated.Thanks in advance.RegardsRaju |

If you do a shrink against the data file, be sure to reindex afterwards as it will totally kill the indexes and performance will be lousy at best.Terry-- Procrastinate now! |
