How to set Secondary File NDF file growth and restrict file size growth in MDF file in SQL Server

New File growth effect Primary MDF and Secondary NDF Added in SQL Server

s p_h e l p db db info

initially it was only 6 MB



Added some sample records to table on test db growth table

after added records you can see growth only on M D F file only

Now we added secondary file 

even if you decide to u n select on enable auto growth option on properties of db

it will give effect on auto growth as none

now we check s p_help db

now we insert sample data

it will give error as we disabled auto growth it will not allow data to insert as show error

we disabled auto growth so it will not allow data to insert see the error

So we should need to enable Auto growth on M D F then we are going to set auto growth option on
N D F then it will work as see below

s p_h e l p db of M D F and L D F info as see below

now we are going to alter database to new location as see below

take database offline then move the M D F file to new location as see below

Now move the database log file to new location as see below

after bring online database shows as new location F drive as see below

Now we insert some sample data as see below

Now we new insert data take effect on M D F  only but cant insert data on LDF see below

solution:

We should need to limit DB Growth in M D F file as see below

now we see help db info

we should need to change it secondary on clustered index /index on table otherwise table should increase on primary only

after change we insert 10000 Thousand records to table as see below

you can see NDF now growing but MDF is not growing itself
