could not allocate space ...

  • I am getting the following error just every once in a while.  There doesn't appear to be a consistent time and/or preceding event when it happens.  It could be during high OLTP, or while the database is relatively idle.

    Error: 1105, Severity: 17, State: 2

    Could not allocate space for object 'TABLE_NAME' in database 'USER_DB' because the 'GROUP_Data' filegroup is full.

    ANYWAYS ... my datafile is NOT full, and it is set to autogrow by 10%.  There is also ample disk space.  I cannot do anything to get around the problem, but when it does happen I can bounce SQL Server and then the problem is goes away. 

    I am running SQL 2000 sp3a on Windows 2003 Standard sp1.

    THANKS

  • I don't know how big your database is but in a live transaction database I would put the growth at fixed growth rather than a percentage.

    I have come across this problem with TEMPDB where a single transaction would have exceeded the bounds of a single growth step. Even though TEMPDB was set to unlimited growth the database came back with Error 1105.
