Dear friends,

If my database is 300GB, then what is the maximum of tempdb can grow? Would that be 300GB or more?

Thanks

LOL.

Ok, the answer is that it can grow to the size of the disks it lives on.

The size it will grow to depends on usage.

The maximum size a database can be is 524,272 terabytes. Probably your SANs are smaller than that.
