increase in the size of tempDB

Hi,
the size of the tempDB increased drastically all of a sudden.
How do i find out the cause for the same
thnks
anuIt could be just about anything. You can have a Profiler trace running and c
orrelate what happened
at the time the size increased, but I don't know of a way to determine this
after the fact (without
that profiler trace).

The reason for growing temdbd database might be a long running query / lots
of sort operations that have done by the query

server starts (size for
tempdb at startup is drawn from master..sysaltfiles, which you can set using
ALTER DATABASE)
