Quick question relating to the above tables.

I am currently experiencing an issue where the syscomments and sysdepends tables are increasing exponentially.

For example, i have a database with data segment of 666 MB (maybe its the number!) and the syscomments is 254MB and sysdepends is 325MB. all the other tables are remaining static, and over my sample period have not increased. Also there have been no new procedures or views created on this database, so I am not sure why these two tables are increasing so much.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this? or have any pointers for things i should be checking?

Many thanks in advance.

Mark

what does this say

sp_spaceused sysdepends


or just sp_spaceused by itself?

sysdepends 153775 332880 KB 215176 KB 117640 KB 64 KB

sp_spaceused syscomments gives :

Thanks for the tip on the formatting.

use cod tags for formatting

[ code] stuff [ /code]

Without the spaces

So your #'s kinda contradict your initial statements
