I'm in the process of migrating some databases to SQL 2012 one of the database is a large database in comparison to the rest, it about 64GB and can grow to about 200GB. This database is currently sitting on a separate instance because of its size but it shares the same data drive as the rest. I'm now trying to weigh up whether or not I want to continue keeping this database on a separate instance or put all the databases on one instance. I was wondering if some DBA's out there can advise me on some of the thing I have consider in my choices and decision making
And also which is the best solution
we're not looking at filegroups at the moment. don't ask why It's jus what I recieved from above.
