Database size

[gsieber]

In trying to resolve our recurring database connection failure issue, we are also attempting to reduce the size of the sgvault.MDF file.

I deleted a repository in Vault admin that was almost 1.5GB, but the MDF file size remained unchanged.

Is there a way to reduce the size of the file?

Thanks

Just deleting a repository does not automatically the size of the database's physical file. You'll want to look at SQL Server's 'DBCC SHRINKDATABASE' command to reduce the size of the file.
