It is 4.19GB. Wow, Ken that is a VERY small database for 10 years.
SQL stores its data in a variety of ways. I don't know why it would necessarily be different for Ted. But, there if Form Filling percentages, and page splitting, running on full rather than simple. But, these are all set by default when one installs.
Of course, it is the Form Filling that allows him to keep using the database.
