sybase, How to shrink database files

I do....

dbcc shrinkfile('databasefilename', sizeinmbtoshrinkto)

so,
dbcc shrinkfile('mydbname_data', 1000)  --shrink to 1gb

or
dbcc shrinkfile('mydb_log', 0)  --//would need to be done after the log was truncated (backed up)

you can also do it in ssms, right click the db, go to tasks, then shrink files

HTH,
Tim

Hi IncisiveOne,
Yes thanks for your explanation, yes a storage device in sybase can be share between database unlike Mcsft sql where one file per database.

Hi,
How about if I want to shrink storage device, will that be possible? Here you see that I'm having plenty of free spae

Hi,
Not so practical when huge db, but will work on such small db, btw good to know how to manage space with sybase.
