SQL TempDB

BlackBerry AtHoc
 is a heavy user of TempDB storage.
A good starting point for TempDB configuration is:
  • 4 data files, 1 GB each
  • 1 log file, 512 MB
This is the initial configuration set by the 
BlackBerry AtHoc
 installer MSI.
The TempDB files should be stored either with the database transaction logs, or on a volume with equivalent or better performance to the transaction logs volume. Some VMs have the option for a temporary drive, which is an SSD. Such a temporary drive is the recommended place to host temporary DB files.
