Heads up to a great article from Sembee.

He is an awesome wealth of knowledge on Exchange. This article discusses common Exchange database myths and facts. I particularly liked the discussion around the stm versus the edb files, and how they get calculated towards database cumulative size. I was completely unaware that as of 2003 sp2 the limit is a soft limit that takes into account white space in the database.

I liked the fact that they state offline defragmentation is really not necessary any longer as proactive maintenance. This has long been a point of discussion with customers and I am glad to see it documented.

Great job Simon.
