Hi,

I just truncated a huge table from my database. Having done this, my data file (mdf) should reduce to a greater extent. But this is not happening. Does it mean that I have to wait for sometime for SQL services to update the file system or should I restart the SQL service or do i need to reboot the system.

Please suggest.
