SQL 7 Database Size

[gordon]

I am a beginner with sql and I have been inputting data (txt files) to my database and now have approached 4GB in size and it will not let me expand any further on the primary file group. My 'boss' said that sql has no size. I am using desktop

SQLServer supports terabyte size databases.
You just need to setup your file group for auto-growth or setup a maximum size. If you want you can specify multiple filegroups for your database.

thanks for the input - I have file size set to unrestricted growth and automatically grow file by 10% It gives me an error message 112 from the operating system (win 2000) and I have 11GB spare on my desktop?

Add another file group to a different location with 4 more GB.
-MAK
