| Hi currently i have this installed.Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (X64) Oct 14 2005 00:35:21 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2) the problem I'm experiencing is that from time to time the growth of the MDF changes to grow by 6400%, i thought this issue was resolved in the service pack 2, but was mistaken, how can this be resolved and/or is server pack 3 going to resolve this if so what else does server pack 3 resolves?Any help would be appreciated. |

An autogrowth for a database should never be based on a percentage, because you get lesser control.Change the autogrowth to a fixed size, say 8 GB at a time.

I have experienced a similar problem when modifying the tran log to unrestricted growth from restricted growth...it always changes back to restricted growth.... |
