You can set a max size, but what would you want as result if you perform an operation that requires more than available space? What you would get is an error message. What database is this? Your app db or tempdb? How often do you perform log backups? Etc.

Hi All,

I create a lot of temp tables and indexes and also creating Hash tables and the log file can easily be 215GB. Is there a way to Limit the Log File in terms of GB?

Thanks,

Eric
