title: Interrupting a database file shrink process in SSMS 2008
body: <p>I recently removed table data from a batch of production databases and I've been shrinking the database files using the 'Shrink File' feature in SSMS.  Some of the databases will shrink more than 50gb.  I noticed that this processes takes a very long time to complete and that there is no cancel button while this process is running.  I am connecting to all the database servers remotely via RDP and cannot guarantee that they won't be power-cycled during the trim process.</p>
  
  <p>If the shrink process is running and the server is power-cycled, will I experience database corruption?</p>
