    Hello Masters,

    How the shrinking works? What happened when shrinking log file or DB file ? on my test db (whose actual size was 3400 MB), I went to shrink task and shrink log file and now db size is 610 MB!!

    I shrink log file, than how db file shirnked ? Is it affecting any production?

    In shrink action, second option is "Shrink File to" and than we have to feed some numeric value in MB, whats that factor is ? how that count is used to shrink a file?

    Please if anyone can explain me it will be helpful for me to work on production.

    thanks in advance.
