title: A bigger database has almost all disk space but 54% of free space on it. Do I have to shrink it?
body: <p>I have received a database management procedure on SQL and the database has with more than 440 Gbytes of space and the disk is just for 500 Gbytes so there is almost no free space on disk to run tasks and to have a good space for temporary files. The database has more of 54% of free space internally. I know that it is not a good idea to shrink database or files but, what other solution exists? (not involving a new hardware) Do I have to "shrink" sql databases or files now?</p>
