Why Shrinking Database Cause Timeout?

 

  

Hello,

There's one database on our system that keeps timing out. My coworkers and
I think it's because of the SQL scheduled task that shrinks the database
because we notice that the time out usually occurs after the shrinkage.
When this happen, we take it offline and then starting it again. We don't
have the timeout problem with other databases. If anyone has an idea on why
this occurs or how we can fix this, please let us know. Thank you for your
response.
