Hi All,

I have the following situation on a SQL 2000 server.
The following are some database config settings.

Data files:
Space allocated (148858MB)
File properties:

+Automatically grow file: is On
File growth
In Megabyte: 1MB is on

+Maximum file size
unrestricted file growth is also on

The same settings are applicable for the Transaction log
The Space allocated for Transaction Log is(535MB)

Do this settings have a performance effect on the server?
How can I better configure them?
what are the best values to set on.(in megabytes or in percentages)

Thanks for your help

Set up limits on the file growth for all DBs, I've got to a situation where my server went down because of settings just like yours.

Do you really need that much of space?

>+Automatically grow file: is On
>File growth
>In Megabyte: 1MB is on

This parameter is not correct. 1 MB is very less. Find out the DB growth and give appropriate setting. 1MB will cause fragmentation.
