Matt, many people on this list have larger DB. What is your concern about the database - performance, DB backup time, ... ? If there is a problem other than size provide some details - version, DBVols and LOGVols storage type, etc. Unload/Load may help to reduce the DB but may not as well. You can argue against no off-site reclamation. At the end through such reclaim not only tape usage is better but also chance for tape errors due to aging is minimized.
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Unload DB/LoadDB I have a 45GB database. It is approximately 11,500,000 pages. Has anyone tried or had success using the Unload/Load DB? Is there another way that I can reduce this? I have my ACTLOG retention set for 4 days. I think what is holding me back is we have our OFFSITE copy pool set for 9999. We send everything offsite forever (Not my idea).
