hi ,
in my live server sql 2014 sp1 in cluster server the size was around 10 GB , we didnt set the initial size of msdb.
where in after applying service pack to SP2 CU10 , the msdb grown after restart to 159 GB , I am shocked why it grown .
seen the tables whose sizes are minimal and finally found an system table shown below is grown such an extent.
object_id | obj | type | total_rows | total_size |
68 | sys.sysxmitqueue | S | 58425635 | 153572.94 |
910626287 | dbo.sysmail_mailitems | U | 53135 | 2564.88 |
1182627256 | dbo.sysmail_attachments | U | 517 | 200.69 |
571149080 | dbo.sysmaintplan_logdetail | U | 223 | 9.28 |
Can you please help to know is some thing went wrong is the reason why it has grown to such extent. and what is the usage of that table ? any ways to minimize the size of the database .
please suggest and help
