Lately when the DatabaseIntegrityCheck job runs it grows the tempdb datafile to 40GB. The job is from Ola Hallengren and my syntax is below. Anything I can look at or should be concerned with regarding the large growth of tempdb?

sqlcmd -E -S $(ESCAPE_SQUOTE(SRVR)) -d JobsDB -Q "EXECUTE [dbo].[DatabaseIntegrityCheck] @Databases = 'USER_DATABASES'" -b

Thank you,
Wrangler

CheckDB can use TempDB quite intensively.

It seems so. I'll leave it alone for now and see what happens next Sunday when the jobs runs again. It should be fine if it stays at 40GB.

Thanks,
Wrangler
