reduce the File Size less then Original Size in SQL 2000

#1

I have one db test with one .mdf and .ldf file.
..mdf file size is 100mb and for some reson i removed all the tables
from that .mdf file and transfer it into new secondary file so all the
tables moved into secondary file now i want to reduce the first .mdf
file from 100 mb to 50mb is that possible,it's showing 90mb is free.

Look at DBCC SHRINKFILE in Books Online.

Although I would say that with the sizes you have indicated, I would not
consider a secondary file at all. (Unless you are doing this a training
exercise.)
