Remarks

The GrowthIncrement value must be either the increment size or a percentage. If you specify an increment size, the value must be a nonnegative integer, with an optional suffix to indicate the unit of measure: kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), gigabyte (GB), or terabyte (TB). If the suffix is not specified, the default unit of measure is megabytes (MB). If you specify a percentage, the growth increment size is the specified percentage of the log file size at the time the increment occurs. To specify a percentage, use a percent (%) sign.

For more information, see the growth_increment parameter in the CREATE DATABASE (Transact-SQL) topic.

Example

The following example shows how to specify a growth increment of 10 percent.

<GrowthIncrement>10%</GrowthIncrement>
