Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property InitialSize As String

public string InitialSize { get; set; }

public:
property String^ InitialSize {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}

/** @property */

public function get InitialSize () : String

public function set InitialSize (value : String)

Property Value

A String, up to 32 characters in length, specifying the initial log file size.

Remarks

The size must be a nonnegative integer indicating the initial log file size, 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).

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

Example

The following examples show how to define a log file for an instance database:

InstanceDatabaseLogFile idb_log = 
    new InstanceDatabaseLogFile(idb, "MyInst_LogFile1");
idb_log.FileName = @"C:\NS\Full\MyInst_LogFile1.ldf";
idb_log.InitialSize = "3MB";
idb_log.MaxSize = "10MB";
idb_log.GrowthIncrement = "10%";
idb.InstanceDatabaseLogFiles.Add(idb_log);

Dim idb_log As InstanceDatabaseLogFile = _
    New InstanceDatabaseLogFile(idb, "MyInst_LogFile1")
idb_log.FileName = "C:\NS\Full\MyInst_LogFile1.ldf"
idb_log.InitialSize = "3MB"
idb_log.MaxSize = "10MB"
idb_log.GrowthIncrement = "10%"
idb.InstanceDatabaseLogFiles.Add(idb_log)
