DB growth

Hey there, IT folks,

Over the last 9 months, our database size has nearly quadrupled.

Would there be any way that just the creation of performances--with no transactions on them--could contribute unduly to use of space?

What would be the likely areas that would contribute most to such growth?

Thank you,

sharon,

Cincinnati Symphony

  • Hi Sharon, is it just your data or log file or both? Is there any chance that your database is in Full recovery mode and you are not taking Transaction Log backup regularly? In that case your log file size will grow enormously. Just for adding new performances it sounds too much.
