SQL Server 2008 - big increase in size of the table
One year ago table contained 31 million rows, now contains 36 million rows,
a table size is increased from 9 GB to 45 GB. The table contains columns of type varchar (n), the total size of about 1500 bytes. Recovery mode is simple, and the log is of normal size. A year ago the DB was moved to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2008. What could have caused such a  big increase in table size?
Thank you
