Back up your Emerald database, then open up ISQL/w using "sa" as the
username and open the "checkdb.sql" script from your Emerald directory and
execute it (takes a little while). See if that clears up your problems.

The Emerald.Calls table is what takes up most of the room in your database.
I have a scheduled task run every night that wipes out all START records and
NULL-username records that are older than 3 days. That keeps the table from
growing as quickly. Periodically, I wipe out a month's worth of the oldest
records in the Calls table as well. Even with 1 million records in my Calls
table, my db has never gone over 300something megs.
