Database grew 50% in a week ??

What happened ?
normal volume of transaction.. db recovery is set to simple
Any Idea
Is there any way I can know the size of each table ?
Thanks
Sam
Probably did a reindex. That requires lots of free space other wise it will
grow the db.

clustered in such a way that the inserts occurred throughout the table and
caused a lot of page splits. Run DBCC SHOWCONTIG to see the extent of
fragmentation. Pay close attention to page density.
