| who cares? Your database isa) So small as to make no differenceb) Empty, so you cannot make any meaningful measurementsYou only have to worry about performance when it is full, not when it is empty. |

| If your database is static and does not increase over time then it is ok to shrink, but if you know, DB will grow over time than it is best to manage size of database manually and do not shrink and grow continuously as it can cause fragmentatin at OS level which can have negative impact on performance. |
