Gets or sets the maximum size to which the data file can grow.
Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Nmo
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo (in microsoft.sqlserver.smo.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property MaxSize As String
public string MaxSize { get; set; }
public:
property String^ MaxSize {
String^ get ();
void set (String^ value);
}
/** @property */
public String get_MaxSize ()
/** @property */
public void set_MaxSize (String value)
public function get MaxSize () : String
public function set MaxSize (value : String)
Property Value
A String, up to 32 characters in length, specifying the maximum data file size.
Remarks
This value for this property must either be the string UNLIMITED or a nonnegative integer indicating the data file size, with an optional suffix to indicate the unit of measure: kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), gigabyte (GB), or terabyte (TB). If the suffix is not specified, the default unit of measure is megabytes (MB).
If you specify UNLIMITED or do not specify a value, the file can grow until the disk is full or until the file is 2 TB.
For more information, see the max_size parameter in CREATE DATABASE (Transact-SQL).
Example
The following examples show how to define an application database file:
// Define and add a filegroup
ApplicationDatabaseFileGroup adb_fg =
new ApplicationDatabaseFileGroup(adb, "PRIMARY");
adb.ApplicationDatabaseFileGroups.Add(adb_fg);
// Define and add a database file
ApplicationDatabaseFile adb_file1 =
new ApplicationDatabaseFile(adb_fg, "MyApp_PrimaryFile1");
adb_file1.FileName = @"C:\NS\Full\MyApp_PrimaryFile1.mdf";
adb_file1.InitialSize = "10MB";
adb_file1.MaxSize = "50MB";
adb_file1.GrowthIncrement = "10%";
adb_fg.ApplicationDatabaseFiles.Add(adb_file1);
' Define and add a filegroup
Dim adb_fg As ApplicationDatabaseFileGroup = _
New ApplicationDatabaseFileGroup(adb, "PRIMARY")
adb.ApplicationDatabaseFileGroups.Add(adb_fg)
' Define and add a database file
Dim adb_file1 As ApplicationDatabaseFile = _
New ApplicationDatabaseFile(adb_fg, "MyApp_PrimaryFile1")
adb_file1.FileName = "C:\NS\Full\MyApp_PrimaryFile1.mdf"
adb_file1.InitialSize = "10MB"
adb_file1.MaxSize = "50MB"
adb_file1.GrowthIncrement = "10%"
adb_fg.ApplicationDatabaseFiles.Add(adb_file1)
