I am using MS SQL2K for last 3 years. For 1. year it was running smothly.Now Its showing lots of problem. For I.5 years the size 0f databse is around 2GB. At present it is 10.9GB. I am very worried its start deleting opening !st,2nd record. We have few tables whose index size is more 5 to 7MB. If we shrink the table nothing change really happen it remain the same. Can we resize the index space than i think the size of the database will reduce.

Please help me. Waiting for your reply

Is it the database or log that has grown? If the log it's probably because someone has done some large updates.
If the data file have a look at DBCC INDEXDEFRAG and DBCC REINDEX.
You may have fragmentation problems. Defraging the clustered index will defragment the data pages.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Just as an fyi, you should be scheduling the DBCC INDEXDEFRAG and reindexes on a regular basis.
