Hi Guys,
I used to have a database that is about 6GB in size. Most of the datatypes on the tables are char() and I decided to change them into varchar().
I was able to shrunk a 6GB database to 3GB by changing the Char datatypes to VarChar. I did this by creating an identical database with the fields data type set to VarChar and then Exporting the data from the original database.
The setup was fine for about a week until we found a glaring increase in the size of the database. in a span of 3 days, the database grew up to 5 GB. Is there a logical explanation on how it ended up acquiring to much space?
Please advice
Thanks....
