reducing Database size - unused space?

  • I have a DB (SQL Server 2005)

    Here are the result from sp_spaceused:

    database_namedatabase_sizeunallocated space

    MYDB 45285.50 MB36.28 MB

    reserved data index_sizeunused

    45226400 KB43036096 KB2162968 KB27336 KB

    Weekly maintenance on this database includes using a sql server builtin maintence plan with 2 tasks: rebuild indexes (reorganize pages with default amount of free space) and an update statistic task.

    This database has had an unusual growth spurt and I am trying to determine if there is any space that can be reclaimed back to the file system. can anyone help?

  • As per the data provided everything looks OK; as only 36 MB unallocated space is reflecting out of 45 GB.
