| DBFile Object | LogFile Object |
object.FileGrowth [= value]
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list |
| value | Long integer |
The FileGrowth value is evaluated using the FileGrowthType property.
When FileGrowthType is SQLDMOGrowth_MB, the value represents the number of megabytes of disk space to allocate for incremental file growth.
When FileGrowthType is SQLDMOGrowth_Percent, the value represents a percentage and must be in the range from 1 through 100. At no time does Microsoft® SQL Server™ increment a file in units smaller than one megabyte, regardless of the result of the percentage of file size calculation.
