SqlCeEngine.Shrink Method

Visual Studio 2010

Reclaims wasted space in the SQL Server Compact database by moving empty pages to the end of the file, and then truncating the file.

Namespace: System.Data.SqlServerCe
Assembly: System.Data.SqlServerCe (in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll)

Syntax

C++

JScript

public void Shrink()

Remarks

Unlike the Compact method, the Shrink method does not create a temporary database file. Instead, all empty and unallocated pages are moved to the end of the file and are then truncated, reducing the overall database size.

You can configure a database to automatically shrink by setting the AutoShrink() property on the database.

Examples

SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine("Data Source = AdventureWorks.sdf");
engine.Shrink();
