Shrink File is not working....

Asked by proudpaki9 in MS SQL Server

Tags: MS, SQL Server 2000

Hello All:
I have a sql database and here is the specs:
Size: 322,045.91 MB (322GB)
Space Available: 101,394.95 (101GB)
Space Allocated: 216,259.25 (216GB)

Recently I have deleted about 10 MIL records and now I am trying to shrink the database via query analyzer:
dbcc shrinkfile(database,2)
and it has been running since last 13 hours is this normal.
Or should I be doing something else to shrink the database since I have deleted records.
Also I am hoping to change the size once its shrunk to a smaller size. No users are connected to this database since last night.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.Start Free Trial
