Thanks for the update.In our case, data file is 96% used and we are getting alerts as it crossed the threshold.
The source database or the snapshot?
So in and all, we can't increase/decrease the datafile size of a snapshot database..right!
The snapshot will never be bigger than the database was at the time the snapshot was created. The file is Sparce (and no alerts can look at that), the size will appear as the same as the source database, the size on disk will be lower usually.
