|    Help with shrinking a database    |
|    10 Jan 13 05:15:05    |
      8fd294a8       From: dolivastro@gmail.com              I have a database that is usually shrunk every month. This takes       anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. But this time, it has been       running over 24 hours and I see no evidence (looking at the file       sizes, and the free space on the disk, in windows explorer) that it is       being shrunk at all, and the log file keeps increasing -- it went from       60M to 659M.              The disk that it sits on has plenty of free space. No one is using       the database.              I don't want to kill it, because I think I might lose data. How do I       get out of this?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
