2. Expand Databases, right-click the database to increase, and then click Properties.
3. In Database Properties, select the Files page.
4. To increase the size of an existing file, increase the value in the Initial Size (MB) column for the file. You must increase the size of the database by at least 1 megabyte.
5. To increase the size of the database by adding a new file, click Add and then enter the values for the new file. Click OK.


Using Transact-SQL
