  • You can set the maximum size for each file in your filegroup.

    The filegroup size is the total of all the files sizes that belong to the group.

  • ok .where can i do change size???

  • In SSMS, right click the database you want to modify.

    Select properties.

    Select "Files" from the list on the left.

    All files that belong to the database will be displayed (your database file, and log file)

    There is a column "Initial Size". Make sure the size you assign is the same OR bigger than the files current size.

    Why increase the size? are you expecting major growth?

    You know the database has the capability to grow itself as needed? (Also under the file properties, look for "Autogrowth" column. You can set it in % or MB (recommended).
