Hi guys,

I am in need of your brains!! Appreciate any advice here!! Ye shall be rewarded with good karma.

Is there any reason at all that a shrink db would improve performance? Client has been told that we should schedule a shrink in. As far as I can see, this will only hinder performance.

Space on the box is not an issue - it's purely a performance question.



Thank you!!
