Select into query that ran for several hours failed and table got truncated ... what might be the reasons? In the db I have two datafiles... with unrestricted growth and the space allocalted are
13834 MB and 12576 MB. What can be the problem?



one of the sql server logs were:

Autogrow of file 'filename2' in database 'dbname' cancelled or timed out after 4094 ms. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH or to set a new size.

perhaps the autogrow failed because there is no space left on the disk?

Auto-growing a database can have an impact on performance. If you have a general idea as to how big it's going to be after inserting the data, size it up right away.
