Lots of unused space

  • Hi everyone,

    I have a question I have a simple table in my SQL-2000 database which is used to store documents in the database. The documents are stored in an image field. Now the problem I stored about 3300 records and the documents stored are about 100 mb. But the table uses a lot more space namely about 700 mb so 600 mb of data is unused. So 600 mb is wasted, is there anything that you can do to reduce the unused space?

    This shows the data used:

    Tablename: tblDocument 

    Rows:  3351        

    Reserved: 741520 KB 

    Data:  106904 KB

    Index_size: 16 KB 

    unused:  634600 KB

    This is the table dafinition:

    tblDocument (design)

    ==================================================

    DocumentID  bigint  8 0

    TPID   bigint  8 0

    Object   varchar  255 1

    ObjectID  bigint  8 1

    Type   int  4 1

    ParentId  bigint  8 1

    DocumentAlgemeenID bigint  8 1

    Name   varchar  255 1

    Description  varchar  2000 1

    ContentType  varchar  255 1

    ContentLength  bigint  8 1

    DocumentDate  datetime 8 1

    DocumentName  varchar  255 1

    ImageSrc  varchar  255 1

    Document  image  16 1

    I hope anyone nows because it's going to cause a problem for me.
