Is it neccessary to compact a database twice. I use a very large db @ work and my instructions are to compact twice. Is there any significant compacting the second time? It seems to be waisted time but would like to know if it really does compact the db further.
 
Does compacting it the second time shrink the size of the DB any further?

I have never heard of that being necessary, but maybe someone else in the forum has??
