Can anyone guide me to a good site that can help me
with "predicting database growth".. thanxs
Predicting database growth is going to be specific to what data you are going to
be storing and more of a business domain question. If you know the type of data
you are going to be storing and the types of queries you will need indexes for
etc, it should be fairly easy to get a rough estimate. For a working system with
no projected fluctuations the past full database backups can be a good
predictor. If you have an idea of the type and amount of data then post it and
I'm sure we can help, otherwise that isn't going to be a SQL Server question.
If you are having problems with transaction log files, or databases shrinking
that may be another problem altogehter.
