106 MB? That's very small db. I wonder if you read the size right. And the size of the db has nothing to do with the performance.

You can archive data, you can add indexes, speed up your server, partition data, etc.

You really need to figure out why it is slow first.

see the software that runs very slow on retrieve data from database.So this makes me think that the database is slow. if i delete old data can this help on speeding up?

It all depends on your indexes. There is no way we can know. But probably.

I cannot see even the maintance plan because database is sql server 2005 express.is there any way to rebuild indexes or repair them?

You can use SSMS to connect to a SQL Express instance.

That is nice way to answer a question that can't be answered, thank to the lack of information.

To begin, explain the schema, the indexes, the kind of queries, the usual usage.

Without know more details it is nearly impossible to give you a concrete answer. There are several items you can look at.

First and probably easiest would be to check your index. If you do have indexes you really should put rebuilding them on some plan. Here is a good link to get you started Rebuild Index Task (Maintenance Plan)[^]. Now if you do not have indexes on your tables that is the first place to start. A good place to start is to use the Sql Data Tuning Ad visor. What you can do is look at the queries you are running and look for where and group by clauses. That is a good place to start.
