Property Value

A Boolean value that specifies whether the AUTOSHRINK database option is active or not. If True, the database is automatically reduced. If False (default), statistics are not automatically reduced.

Remarks

This property specifies whether the size of the database is automatically reduced when a large amount of available space occurs.

Setting the AutoShrink property is equivalent to the sp_dboption (Transact-SQL) autoshrink option in Transact-SQL.
