RE: autoextend

We will allow it, with a maximum size to keep people / apps from filling the disk. If they do run out, particularly with temp, we start asking questions, like: What’s changed? What are you trying to do?

Good afternoon experts!
I am maybe andold fashioned DBA in that I prefer Autoextend to be turned off on all our databases.

It's particularly risky when developers are allowed to 'develop' on the Prod databases. (We are moving away from that)

Do you all allow autoextend or prohibit it?

Best Wishes

Howard
