Hi:

database AB with 195 gb on a SQL2000 sp3 server.
I have dropped 10 tables in the DB A, each about 2 gb.

DBCC Shrinkdatabase(AB, 10) has run 36 hours and still running. It looks it using many CPU and I/O but with 0 in memory.

I have done dbcc checkdb with 0 error.
I have done sp_statistics
both above return results had excluded dropped tables.

Related Jobs and DTS run this DB are as normal.
Before this, I have tried DBCC shinkfile(A_dataFile, 10) and I had cancelled it after run 24 hours.

The server free space is around 36 gb now.
Any idea?
thanks
David
