TempDB with 200GBs

  • Dear all,

    we have a complaint about an application that is very slow. Its database has 1GB in size but the tempDB on the server has 200GB.

    If possible, I would like your advices on how should I start this investigation.

    Probably, there is something filling the TempDB with lots of infromation.

    Thank you,

    Pedro

    Check the queries running on the server, check the CPU and memory utilization.  You sure the TempDB grew gradually?  TempDB filling up is mostly caused by poor performing queries.
