Very Slow Transaction Post

Apr 01, 2009 1 Replies

My POS station has become incredibly slow to post transactions and print the receipt. The database has grown to about 2gigs. Any suggestions?



Thanks

Hi Scott

Normally we find that growth is mostly due to the journals. I would recommend that you thin them out a bit, say removing anything older than a year. You could use the below command for it:

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
