Set Default Autogrowth

Here’s another one of my global changes. This one sets-up ‘Model’, which is the template for all databases created in the future.

-- AutogrowthDefault.sql

-- first examine the current settings
select Name, size*8/1024 [SizeMB], case is_percent_growth 
	when 1 then convert(varchar(50), growth) + ' %' 
	when 0 then convert(varchar(50), growth*8/1024) + ' MB' end AutoGrowth
from master.sys.master_files
where db_name(database_id) = 'Model'
order by [type];

----set Initial-Size to best-practice
ALTER DATABASE [model] MODIFY FILE (NAME = N'modeldev', SIZE = 256MB);
ALTER DATABASE [model] MODIFY FILE (NAME = N'modellog', SIZE = 128MB);

---- set Autogrowth to best-practice
ALTER DATABASE [model] MODIFY FILE (NAME = N'modeldev', FILEGROWTH = 256MB);
ALTER DATABASE [model] MODIFY FILE (NAME = N'modellog', FILEGROWTH = 128MB);
