I wouldn't agree this. Yes, in older databases this was the case, and is what was an expected operation.MSO said:Most database files need periodic maintenance to optimize indeces and defrag the file.
Modern databases are more fault tolerant and self healing; what you request is automatically being done behind the scenes.
As far as defragging/compacting-that again is from a different era where saving disk space was crucial. Some DBs work best with a little "elbow room".
Don't worry about the file-it will do just fine. Backups these days are more for human screw ups than data corruption.
