Databases

The Shrink Database operation (POST /v1/sql-instances/{instanceName} /Databases /{databaseName}/shrink) enables the client to shrink the size of data files and log files on the specified managed database.

By shrinking the size of data files and log files on a database, you can recover space by moving pages of data at the end of the file to unoccupied space near the front of the file. Deallocated pages at the end of the file are returned to the file system.

Depending on the size of the database, shrink jobs can take hours to complete. This operation now enables the client to specify the timeout for long-running shrink jobs. By default, shrink jobs timeout after two hours. The optional timeout parameter enables the client to specify the maximum duration of a job in hours. The parameter accepts values up to 12.

The request body now supports two parameters:

{
  "truncateLogsOnly": true,
  "timeout": 10
}
