How to reduce allocated Space to DB in mssql 2005

Hi ,
We are using SAP with Mssql2005 on Windows 2008r2.server.
One week back we provided 400 GB space to My database files (for each 100GB), But right now we don't want that much space for My system.We are planing to use that extra space for another system.
I want to know below points.
1)How to reduce my database free space from Mssql 2005 management studio.
2)What is the Procedure.
3)Is it possible to reduce the Database free size once added to SQL Database files.
Please suggest the procedure, its urgent requirement.

Hi Rao
1.  You can perform the Database shrink. During this process keep an eye on transaction log & do it during off peak time. Just go through the Microsoft blog Shrink a File
2. If your are migrating  the database to MS Sql 2008 R2 you can get the database compression feature it may reduce your disk space more than 40%,

    suddenly other space in my iphone increased to 1.26GB from 800MB. please suggest how to reduce the space in 'other'

    I am having 'other' storage problems on a lot of my devices and I have been searching for a way to solve this. I was looking through threads of discussions and everyone pretty much said the same thing- that it 'other' is data that can't be classified into sections eg. things like documents, contacts, mail etc and that a way to get rid of it, as mentioned above, is to restore is. But then I came across this thread of disucssions: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17668547#17668547
    which said that there was a way to reduce the storage without restoring, having something to do with old uptade files of apps. I'm not sure if this works as I haven't tried it yet but they said it was safe and worked, so there is an option

    Hello Friends,
      How can I reduce the space between to words in Scripts?
    Thanks & Regards
       Sathish Kumar

    use &ekpo-ebeln(C)& it is for reducing the space...
    if you are trying to codense the space in prog  and then want to pass that to script use
    condense ekpo-ebeln <no-gaps>.
    <no-gaps> is optional ...so as per your requirement you can use it

  • How do reduce the space between the front panel and the display area

    I am trying to reduce the space between the front panel and display area but i am not able to reduce the space

    A picture would be very helpful in demonstrating what you are having trouble with.
    Lacking that, I will guess.
    VI Properties >>> Windows Size
    lets you define the minimum size of a FP window.
    Well that's my guess!

    Pl. give your view what can be thought of to reduce redospace wait

    Below are my suggestion:
    Increase log buffer between [ 5Mb and 15Mb]
    differ the the commit: COMMIT_WRITE=NOWAIT,BATCH
    You can also increase your redo log fil, but read the following
    Sizing Redo Logs with Oracle 10g
    Oracle has introduced a Redo Logfile Sizing Advisor that will recommend a size for our redo logs that limit excessive log switches, incomplete and excessive checkpoints, log archiving issues, DBWR performance and excessive disk I/O. All these issues result in transactions bottlenecking within redo and performance degradation. While many DBAs' first thought is throughput of the transaction base, not very many give thought to the recovery time required in relation to the size of redo generated or the actual size of the redo log groups. With the introduction of Oracle's Mean Time to Recovery features, DBAs can now specify through the FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET initialization variable just how long a crash recovery should take. Oracle will then try its best to issue the proper checkpoints during normal system operation to help meet this target. Since the size of redo logs and the checkpointing of data have a key role in Oracle's ability to recover within a desired time frame, Oracle will now use the value of FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET to suggest an optimal redo log size. In actuality, the setting of FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET is what triggers the new redo logfile sizing advisor, and if you do not set it, Oracle will not provide a suggestion for your redo logs. If you do not have any real time requirement for recovery you should at least set this to its maximum value of 3600 seconds, or one hour and you will then be able to take advantage of the advisory. After setting the FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET initialization parameter a DBA need only query the V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY view for the column OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE value, in MEG, and then rebuild the redo log groups with this recommendation.
    Simple query to show the optimal size for redo logs
    SQL> SELECT OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE
    FROM V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY
    OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE
    64
    A few notes about setting FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET
    •     Specify a value in seconds (0-3600) that you wish Oracle to perform recovery within.
    •     Is overridden by LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL:
    Since LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL requests Oracle to checkpoint after a specified amount of redo blocks have been written, and FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET basically attempts to size the redo logs in such a way as to perform a checkpoint when they switch, you can easily see that these two parameters are of conflicting interest. You will need to unset LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL if you wish to use the redo log sizing advisor and have checkpoints occur with log switches. This is how it was recommended to be done in the v7 days and really I can't quite see any reason for anything else.
    •     Is overridden by LOG_CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT:
    LOG_CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT controls the amount of time in between checkpoints if a log switch or the amount of redo generated has not yet triggered a checkpoint. Since our focus is now on Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) this parameter is no longer of concern because we are asking Oracle to determine when to checkpoint based on our crash recovery requirements.
    •     Is overridden by FAST_START_IO_TARGET:
    Actually, the FAST_START_IO_TARGET parameter is deprecated and you should switch over to the FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET parameter
    Thanks

  • Re: settings -- how to reduce waste space at top of page to one line only

    I find that the wide screens are too short so it seems like more scolling is needed since less of web page is viewable and this problem is made worse by waste space taken up by various lines - for example on my firefox page, there is a blue line at the top that currently says "ask a question" Firefox help etc and then the rest of the line is blank -- about 70% of space not used/needed
    The second line down shows: File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help -- then about 70%waste space -- rest of line is blank -- How can we put stuff from various lines into one or two lines Max ?
    To continue, in my case, the next line has a couple of tabs -- this is useful -- maybe if there could be an easy way to show tabs in their own line when lots of various pages need to be open but when need max space viewable below to click a dropdown to push tabs up to end of next line above (in the waste space)
    Finally, my page has the 4th line taken up by the Forward and Back arrows, the web address line, and then a shorter box called iLivid Web Search with a magnifying glass and then a little box at the end of a house -- which I use all the time to go to my home page for new tabs opened
    I think it would be cool if we could easily elim all but the blue line and one more line by pushing stuff in line 3 and 4 up into line 1 (blue line) and line 2
    My much older IE version had a feature you could drag the lines up they would do what I am saying with all the lines except the blue line at the top -- then when it compressed thje info, it would just show part of title and then a little // sort of button to click to see or expand a part of the line to read it all if needed
    It seems likely this has mostly been solved but I can not seem to figure how to use the settting and buttons on my firefox page to accomplish these changes easily back and forth
    From my looking at it, these features need to be available when you right click on each line but maybe my version8 is not set up quite right
    so any and all assistance is greatly appreciated
    Cheers, G

    Found settings in on the Layout tab of the page and changed the top px from 32 to 10.

    Remove line 234 in your HTML code.
    <p>& n b s p</p>
    This is a redundant line of code. Your spacing should get resolved.
    PS: I've given spaces between the tag because otherwise this forum would not display the line correctly.

    You don't need iTunes for that. Simply connect the iPhone to the PC where it will be recognized as a camera. You can then select the photos you wish to transfer, transfer them, and delete them.

  • How To Reduce Space Between Text and Image

    I am trying to wrap text around an irregular shape in InDesign CS4. I used the pen tool to mark the outline of the image, cut the image, then selected the pen outline and pasted the image into the outline. With the TextWrap settings set to what is in this dialog box, text wrapping appears fine on the right-hand side, but has too much space on the left-hand side.
    If I try to reduce the space even further, it just affects the right-hand side of the image, not the left:
    It is doing the same thing for all of my irregularly-shaped images where I try to wrap text. How can I reduce the whitespace to the left of the image?

    Actually just noticed your text is already justified apologies.
    Couple more things you can try to improve this:
    From Control panel menu choose Justification and try using the following settings:
    Minimum
    Desired
    Maximum
    Word Spacing
    80%
    100%
    120%
    Letter Spacing
    -2%
    0%
    2%
    Glyph Scaling
    98%
    100%

    Also check that Single Word Justification is set to Full Justify.

    to linux file system. Please correct me if I am wrong.
    Now I would like to remove the Ubuntu virtual desktop and free up the allocated space. I have deleted the desktop from the Hyper-V manager. Is this sufficient to free up the space?

    I am not sure of the unnamed, unused volume. Hence I listed all.
    However Diskpart tool in command prompt does not show the last one [ 8gb]. Does this mean if this was allocated
    to Virtual desktop? Please help 

    You must delete the VHDx that you created when you created the VM.
    This is the virtual disk that Ubuntu was installed into - you will not see this as a volume, you will see this as a VHDx file.

  • How to reduce space between cell border and text ?

    I want to make a very small print of my class timetable. But I can't reduce the table size after a certain size. The major portion is taken up due to space between the cell borders and the text in them. Is there anyway I can reduce that space so that I can make the font size a little more and still keep the table size small.

    Assuming your are using Pages '09 (4.0.3) ..
    First select all the cells which you wish to change.
    Go to Inspector - Text Inspector, and reduce the Inset Margin

  • Transfer Purchase from iPhone 5s to iTunes reducing free space?

    Sometime I Transfer Purchases from my iPhone 5s 32GB running iOS 7.0.4 using iTunes 11.1.4 for Mac and recently notice it reduced free space on the iPhone, even before doing any sync from iTunes.. several weeks ago just before Transfer Purchases there was 7GB of free space on the iPhone, after Transfer Purchases there's only 5.3GB left, I restart the phone and there's 5.9GB left
    Today there's 5.7GB free space, after Transfer Purchase there's only 4.3GB left, after restart the phone 4.7GB left
    Wondering what Transfer Purchase actually doing with the phone that increase the storage usage up to more than 1GB permanently..? and how do I reclaim those free space?
