It might be the max size allowed to filegroup for the SQL license that you possess!

It might be the max limit allowed to the filegroup for the license of SQL Server that you possess.

Hi Pinal ,
When i found this error wile running my SP I went to Enable Autogrowth but it was already set still i m facing this error.
and one more thing my sp is not giving same behavior for same input some times it gives me error after 40 iterations or some time 200 .It have total no of iteration is 331.

STRUCTURE OF SP IS Like:

While()
BEGIN
While()
BEGIN

While()
BEGIN

END
END
END

Means more complex…

I am trying to figure out code to run every time a database is created, so this would all be part of a trigger on create of any database. My idea is to change the autogrowth for that database if it meets certain requirements. Right now when i execute the code it executes fine, but will not actually change the autogrowth for the database :(.

DELCARE @dbname nvarchar(100), @File1Growth nvarchar(10), @File2Growth nvarchar(10)
SET @bdname = ‘TempDatabase’

SET @SQLSTRING =
(
‘ USE ‘ + @dbname +
‘ SET ‘ + @File1Growth + ‘ = ‘ +
‘ ( ‘ +
‘ SELECT sysfiles.growth ‘ +
‘ FROM sysfiles ‘ +
‘ WHERE sysfiles.FileId = 1 ‘ +
‘ ); ‘ +

‘ SET ‘ + @File2Growth + ‘ = ‘ +
‘ ( ‘ +
‘ SELECT sysfiles.growth ‘ +
‘ FROM sysfiles ‘ +
‘ WHERE sysfiles.FileId = 2 ‘ +
‘ ); ‘ +

‘ IF ‘ + @File1Growth + ‘ <= 1 ' +
' ALTER DATABASE ' + @dbname +
' MODIFY FILE (NAME = ' + @dbname + ',FILEGROWTH = 4MB);' +

' IF ' + @File2Growth + ' <= 10 ' +
' ALTER DATABASE ' + @dbname +
' MODIFY FILE (NAME = ' + @dbname + '_Log,FILEGROWTH = 4MB);'
);

EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @SQLSTRING

I am wondering if anyone has any ideas that may work?

I have a problem with the auto growth, for some reason sql 2005 changes the auto growth to grow by either 6400 or 1440 %. i cant disable it because there is more inserting then selecting.
if anyway could could give me a solution it will really be appreciated.

regarads gavin
please mail it to me.

Even though I change the autogrowth with method above, its still 1280% in sysfiles like when I do:

select * from sysfiles

Hi Dave,

Good article. On one of my DB instances, SQL Server always reset this to “Restricted File Growth”. I tried few times to define Unrestricted File Growth, and server always reverts it bac to restricted. Any idea what could be wrong?
