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.



N 56°04'39.26"
E 12°55'05.63"

hi peso,

thanks for the feedback

i done that already, grow the database by 4 gbs and set the auto growth to grow by 50 mbs, the problem is it changes (automatically) to grow by percentage.

currently i have checked the jobs/schedules and all i have is a backup a history clean up of the backup and maintenance which is executed once a month.

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