| A database's size is all files combined together. Typically that's just an MDF and an LDF. An LDF is usually around 25-50% of the MDF. To calculate the MDF, you'll need to calculate how big each of the tables will be by finding the max/avg row size and multiplying that by the number of expected rows. Then you'll need to account for indexes.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog"Let's begin with the premise that everything you've done up until this point is wrong." |
