BUG #: 16020 (6.50)



SYMPTOMS
If tempdb is located in RAM and you have no default disk specified, it is not possible to alter the size of tempdb in RAM. No error message is provided. Only the config_value for the SQL Server configuration value "tempdb in RAM" is changed, but the run_value always remains the same (previous) value after restarting SQL Server.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, specify a default device with sp_diskdefault. You can then alter the size of tempdb without any problem.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.50. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
