The information in this article applies to:

  - Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2 for OS/2

The maximum size of a device assigned to a database or a log is limited to disk space available and any limitation placed by the operating system on file sizes (because for the operating system, devices are files). There is a minimum size limit of 2 MB for the device that will be used for a database, and a minimum of 1 MB for the size of a device that will be used for a log.
