    1,000MB equals = 1GB? or 1MB?

    and if I have 4 processor (physical) I need put more 3 datafile? because exist mdf (default).

    You sad: "500MB with 500MB growth for the LDF file and then monitor it as the system grows. " but, is not necessary I am add ldf files all right? only mdf for processor..

    Jeff Moden,

    How can i allow/endrose your answer in this topic?

    Do not add more LDF files. LDF files operate in a serial cyclic manner and there's no benefit.

    And obviously 1,000MB <> 1MB. 1,000MB = 1GB. If you have 4 processors, you could start 4 MDF files at 500MB with 500MB growth. Since you have no history on TempDB usage on this system, that's also a swag.

    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.
