The system database TEMPDB can appear to have a life of its own. The primary purpose of this database is to temporarily store data for specific processes before being committed to a database. When a Tempdb grows out-of-control it can be a daunting task trying to figure out what is causing the growth. This can be especially problematic when there is little disk space left to work with. One way to stop Tempdb from growing is to restart the SQL services, but one loses all data that might be beneficial in knowing what caused the problem in the first place and who can afford any downtime?
How can I get insight into TempDB growth and get notified if there is an issue?
