Hi anonymous user-9572,
It will cap at 10GB and work fine until there is 0 free space?
Yes, you are right. If the free space has been used up when total size of the data file has been 10G, or increase the size after the data file has been 10G, you will face errors below:
CREATE DATABASE or ALTER DATABASE failed because the resulting cumulative database size would exceed your licensed limit of 10240 MB per database. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1827) (Increase the size after the data file has been 10G error)
Could not allocate space for object ‘TableName’.’IndexName’ in database ‘DatabaseName’ because the ‘PRIMARY’ filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup. (the available space has been used up error)
In addition, please refer to this thread you opened earlier.
If you have any other question, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,
Amelia
