How can i reduce Initial Size Database File ?

  • Hi Guys,

    I have a .mdf with 12GB, but only 1.7 GB with data, indexes...

    When i run sp_spaceused:

    database_name: BD

    database_size: 12096.75 MB

    unallocated space: 10395.03 MB

    reserved: 1715744 KB

    data: 1668048 KB

    index_size: 22872 KB

    unused: 24824 KB

    I have run shrink file, UPDATEUSAGE, and nothing results...

    how i can delete unallocated space ? (it's not log file...) , it's because i have 12.7 initial size data file 🙁

    regards

  • 1- Script offending database creation

    2- Take a full backup

    3- Drop your offending database

    4- Delete mdf, ndf and ldf related datafiles.

    5- Alter database creation script setting -perhaps - 2 Gig for mdf file

    6- Create database by executing your altered database creation script

    7- Restore database -force - from your full backup at step #2

    8- Pay my $180 bill and be happy forever 😀

    After Executing Above Next Step:

    DBCC shrinkfile(filename, expected size in MB , truncateonly)

    Hope your problem will solve.
