Make sure that TempDB is set to autogrow and do not set a maximum size for TempDB. If the current drive is too full to allow autogrow events, then arrange a bigger drive, or add files to TempDB on another device (using ALTER DATABASE as described below and allow those files to autogrow. Move TempDB from one drive to another drive. There are major two reasons why TempDB needs to move from one drive to other drive. 1) TempDB grows big and the existing drive does not have enough space. 2) Moving TempDB to another file group which is on different physical drive helps to improve database disk read, as they can be read simultaneously. Follow direction below exactly to move database and log from one drive (c:) to another drive (d:) and (e:). Open Query Analyzer and connect to your server. Run this script to get the names of the files used for TempDB. USE TempDB GO EXEC sp_helpfile GO Results will be something like: name fileid filename filegroup size ——- —— ————————————————————– ———- ——- tempdev 1 C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdatatempdb.mdf PRIMARY 16000 KB templog 2 C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdatatemplog.ldf NULL 1024 KB along with other information related to the database. The names of the files are usually tempdev and demplog by default. These names will be used in next statement. Run following code, to move mdf and ldf files. =========== If the log file also the same position take the log backup it will reduce the size of the log file. Don't increase the log file size
