Changing Databases

Some SQL versions include a command that allows you to change the size of a database (usually to make it bigger). The ability to add database device space for a database is extremely important for any application that will grow over time. Also important (and less frequently implemented) is the ability to shrink a database in order to reclaim unused database device space.
