    Please some one help me .....

    :-)What are best practices for setting transaction log size for tempdb?

    I wouldn't call it a "best practice" but here's what I do...

    I set it to 100MB with 100MB Growth and then I watch it. Whatever it get's to after a full monthly cycle has passed is probably a pretty accurate size. I'll add half a GB to that and use that for the Initial Size keeping the 100MB growth. Of course, the new intial size won't kick in until the next bounce of the service or reboot of the server. I typically will do the same with the MDF file.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
