Can someone assist me in shrinking the jounals tables?



Dexter


Run this SQL statement in Administrator

DELETE Journal WHERE time < getdate()-365

The above statement will delete all journals over 12 months old (alter the number of days as required)

and then run this SQL statement

dbcc shrinkdatabase (DatabaseName)
