title: Removing several tables out of a sql server 2005 database - make a new db or use old?
body: <p>I'm killing a bunch of tables in a SQL Server db to move to an archive db. The current db has a couple of filegroups and has been working okay growing the tables that are still there. I'll be removing multiple gigabytes, though.</p>
  
  <p>Should I make a new db and move the current tables in there? I'm paranoid about not setting growth right.</p>
  
  <p>There is really only one table that sees a lot of activity - and that goes up to about 14,000 rows in a four-month</p>
