adding datafile to database

sql server 2000 sp4
Hi
I have a database that was initially created for 70MB. It has a application
associated with it and can not be deleted. I need to increase size of the
database to 440 GB. What is the best way of doing it.

ontario, canadaDo you want to add another file or increase the size of an existing file? Anyhow, both operations
are very straight forward:
ALTER DATABASE db ADD FILE (...)
ALTER DATABASE db MODIFY FILE (...)
You find exact syntax in Books Online. It will take a while to add or grow a file close to half a
terabyte...
