Author multiple datadbase files

SQL Server 7 SP4

I have a database with 3 different primary mdf files.

And the properties of the database shows this:

file - space allocated
....Data1.mdf - 13144
....Data2.mdf - 3000
....Data3.mdf - 11156

does somebody know because the size of Data2 doesn't grow in size?

thanks, victor.

SQL will put data in each of the files using a 'proportional fill'
methodology until the file becomes full... Is the file at maxsize with
autogrow off?

I thought one database can have only one primary file, isn't it true?

If that's true, then what you are looking at are primary files from
different databases, and you would not expect they grow abreast.

.... pr perhaps someone named the other (non-primary) files ".mdf", which IMO is a bad move.

This is a SAP database. SAP manage all the installation.

I have other systems with the same configuration without this problem.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the answer

all the files form an only database, I have had an error when writing
database names:

> > ...Data1.mdf - 13144
> > ...Data2.ndf - 3000
> > ...Data3.ndf - 11156

Seems more reasonable. Perhaps one file was created with a smaller size and then expanded?

all the databases were initially created with 3Gb
And the SQL Server grows it automatically.
