Autogrowth automatically set to 640 percent

Hello,
I've configured SQL Server 2005 express to use autogrowth by 5mb.
After a few weeks the autogrowth option automatically switched to 640
percent what will lead to performance problems.
After is set back the autogrowth to 5mb, a few weeks later the same
problem occurs.
Does anyone know what can cause this problem?
Thanks in advance,
PimWhich servicepack is installed?
You can disable autogrow and set the database size manually as temporarly
workaround.

Hi
Not that it helps you a lot, but we see the same thing happening on one
specific database. Occasionally the mdf file for this database is being
set to a growth rate of 12800% and then the file is around 258 GB.
This has started after we moved this database from a SQL2000 server to a
SQL2005 server. The vendor knows about the issue and they has the same
problem with a few other customers. Since it happens quite seldom, they
haven't been able to figure out what it is that causes it to happen. As
a temporary workaround, I'v written a little sql script that runs every
15 minuttes to check the filesize and filegrowth. If one of them has
changed since last run it sends me an email. I can then go in an correct
the values.

Database Administrator / System Administrator|||Personally I would just set the job to issue the necessary ALTER DATABASE
statement to fix the growth increment when identified (as well as send an
email that it had been done).
Also, I didn't investigate, but it may be possible to use a DDL trigger to
trap ALTER DATABASE calls on this database to 1) prevent the growth factor
change and 2) identify the offending code and get it fixed.

Which servicepack is installed?
You can disable autogrow and set the database size manually as temporarly

Autogrowth 32000 percent

I have a database with a 3G datafile, and 1G logfile. I have set the
Autogrowth on the datafile to 250M, for the third time. Somehow, I don't know
when, the Autogrowth is getting changed to [32000 percent]. So when the
datafile tries to expand it take a considerable amount of disk space (106G),
then my log dumps start failing due to low disk space.
Autogrowth=32000%
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks in advance,

No, this is definately a SQL 2005 bug... The article that I linked to
talks about one possible cause of this as being a status bit in a
converted SQL 2000 database.

The database is in SQL 2005, and was upgraded from a SQL 7 to SQL 2000, and
then SQL 2005. So are your saying this is a known bug that there currently is
no fix or workaround?
