Your blog has been very helpful to me.

I am having a very serious issue with my MSSQL Server database. I am using MS SQL 2008 R2

My database is taking up 1.5 TB of space.

I am giving you details of 1 of the 20 tables that I have in my database.

Table_Name
ONTIME_DELIVERY_HISTORY_F
rows
149348218
reserved_KB data_ KB index_size_KB unused_KB
286507304 109628760 176843160 35384

The indes size is seems to be too high. I have used following command for reducing the index size.

ALTER INDEX ALL
ON ONTIME_DELIVERY_HISTORY_F
REBUILD WITH (DATA_COMPRESSION = ROW)

I have observed that the index size reduces by using this command, but the dsk space remains the same.

It would be great help if you could guide me and let me know what steps should be followed to reduce the index size and ultimately the reduce the disk space.
