As a developer or a dba you may in your life have to shrink the log
file of a database or you will have to shrink the database, because the server
that the database is on is running low on space.
The syntax for a shrink statement is:
DBCC SHRINKDATABASE
( database_name | database_id | 0
[ , target_percent ] *
[ , { NOTRUNCATE |
TRUNCATEONLY } ]
)
[ WITH NO_INFOMSGS ]
*For more information about how the
target_percent or any of the relevant areas of the shrink database query works,
