Hi
We have a database which contains a table which contained documents. These documents have now been stripped out and we want to claim this space back - the database\table will never get to this size again.
After some investigations I thought the best approach was:
create new file groups (called secondary as we currently only have primary)
drop and recreate the clustered index on the tables to the new file group.
Is this the correct way to do this? I was thinking of moving all user tables into the secondary filegroup -I assume I would then need to shrink the primary filegroup? if so, what would be the best way to do this?
Many thanks
Paul
