QUESTION POSED ON: 02 June 2004 Almost daily we receive an error in the SQL Server log referring to the
tempdb log file being full, and this puts our database at a complete standstill. Our file properties for this particular file are: Unrestricted
growth allowed at a file growth of two percent. Is there some other
setting that we should be aware of that would allow the file to grow to
"full" status?
>
Just because it is defined as unrestricted growth, doesn't mean it can grow unrestricted. It is still bound by the amount of
physical disk space you have and once that is gone, it can not get any larger.
