The bottom line is that I don't understand how the size limit thing really works, and have not been able to find good documentation to explain it.Īnd, more importantly, I have not been able to discover exactly how it gets increased when moving to a version of SQL with a higher limit. Is there a way to look at a SQL database's properties and determine what its size limit really is? Would the process of backing it up, detaching it, creating a new empty database, and restoring the backup into the new database have increased the size limit? Or, because we're "restoring" would it have "restored" the old size limit as well? You might like to know that SQL Server 2008 Express R2 now has a 10GB limit, so it might be worth upgrading. We had to do a backup to clear enough space to get in and resolve things.
#Sql 2012 express database reached limit upgrade
Would an in-place upgrade "automatically" allow the pre-existing database files to exceed 4 GB in size, or are they considered "legacy" databases that will still not be able to exceed 4 GB? If I remember correctly, when it happened to us, the database just stopped. I suspect there may be a programming error, like for example someone entered a static size limit of 4 GB because we were using SQL 2005 Express at the time of installation, and now it needs to be updated to 10 GB.
Your transaction will continue to insert data till data file is reached 10 GB. DB can grow to 10GB+ but as soon as used space hits 10GB it stops No, the total size will be considered. I guess, now when you look at my question it will make sense that it is all depending on the size of your storage system. Yes it will if transaction is adding data, not if transaction is reading. SQL Server Express has a limitation of 10 GB due to its nature. So, we backed up the database, created a new, empty one, and restored the backup into it. SQL Server 2008R2, 20 have maximum capacity of 524 PB (Petabyte) in the Enterprise, BI and Standard edition. But, the handy little percentage bar in the app still shows 96% database usage. We performed and in-place upgrade to SQL 2008 R2 Express, which has a 10 GB database size limit. For example, a SQL Server 2012 Express edition can use only a maximum size of 1.4 GB for its database cache.
A LOB application we are running has a percentage bar that tells us how close we are to the limit. The rest of the caches in the SQL Server memory manager can use much more memory than is specified by these edition limits. A database was created in SQL 2005 Express, which has a 4 GB database size limit.
