One of the small improvements in SSMS 18.0 Preview 4 is the addition of an \u201cAutogrow All Files\u201d checkbox in the Database Properties dialog on Filegroups page as shown in Figure 1. This is another nice change that will hopefully make it easier for more people to enable this setting because the tooling actually makes it easier to do.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Checking that checkbox ends up generating the following command:<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

ALTER DATABASE [Test2019DB] MODIFY FILEGROUP [MAIN] AUTOGROW_ALL_FILES<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This enables the same behavior for user databases as the old Trace Flag 1117, but controllable at the individual database level. This setting is explained in more detail in this Microsoft blog post:<\/font><\/p>\n

If you have multiple files in a file group (and I think having at least two is a good idea), it is important to have them be the same size, so that SQL Server will spread the work more evenly between the files. If you have one large file and one small file, the small file tends to get ignored.<\/font><\/p>\n
