![]() This report shows current file sizes and usage as well as the automatic file growths that have taken place since the instance was started.įollowing a ROLLBACK the physical Transaction Log File Size remains at the size it grew to while the transaction ran: ROLLBACK The Disk Usage Report in Management Studio can also be used to view current file sizes and file: Now The view sys.database_files can be queried to display information about current data and log file sizes: SELECT * FROM sys.database_files UPDATE Sales.SalesOrderDetail SET OrderQTy = OrderQty + 1 ![]() In this case the script shows Transaction Log File growth following an UPDATE run on the Sales.SalesOrderDetail (fig 1) table in a database called AdventureWorks2012 (fig 2) , MaxFileSizeMB = CASE WHEN mf.max_size = -1 THEN 'Unlimited' ELSE convert(varchar(30), convert(decimal(19,2),mf.max_size*8./1024.))

Here are two ways of finding out which files are automatically growing 1. Capturing Data File & Transaction Log File Growths It is the DBA’s responsibility to monitor the size of the files and take suitable action to manage the sizes of the files. With AutoShrink set to False the Data and Log Files will not reduce in size even if records and/or tables are deleted. The default for a database is that Auto Shrink is set to False: ![]() Without careful monitoring we may find that the Data & Log Files are continually growing as transactions take place, but not shrinking, which will obviously over time result in an oversized log file. With an unlimited File size, then, it’s important to monitor file size and keep them in check.Here we show you how to identify oversized files and secondly, how to manually shrink them to maintain optimum performance from your SQL server. On SQL Server 2016 the default Auto Shrink setting is set to “False”, so Data & Log files will continue to grow even if records and/or tables are deleted. If your SQL Server’s performance is slowing down, the first thing to check is the Physical Storage for any oversized Data and Transaction Log files that could be the cause of the problem.
