Hi there,
we're using SQL 2008 Change Tracking on some of our databases (Full and Express). I've been told in another thread that Change Tracking counts as part of user data (which is relevant for Express as it counts towards the 2Gig limit), and it was suggested to follow up in this forum.
We are concerned about the amount of space that Change Tracking is using, and the fact that it is rather opaque as to the 'cost' of enabling change tracking.
Is there any published data as to how change tracking is stored, or some formula that would help calculate the cost (eg. days/changes/columns etc)?
I do think it is a bit rough counting change tracking as user data if there isn't an easy way to determine ahead of time how much space it will consume.
