SQL Server provides the ability to shrink a database or specific database files. The OnBase database is a repository that will grow over time. Shrinking your OnBase database can introduce severe fragmentation within the database and potentially introduce performance issues. Therefore, do not use a maintenance plan or the Auto Shrink database option to shrink the OnBase database or specific database files.
