TempDB Filling Up? Try Resource Governor.
TempDB is one of the banes of my existence. Anybody, anybody who can query your server can run a denial-of-service attack in a matter of seconds just by filling it up with a simple query: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #big_problem; CREATE TABLE #big_problem (filler VARCHAR(8000)); WHILE 1 = 1 INSERT INTO #big_problem SELECT REPLICATE('X', 8000) FROM GENERATE_SERIES(1, 100000); This while loop will gradually fill up TempDB, and when one of the attempts eventually fails, that's okay because the session stays open.

You’ve been working with SQL Server, Azure SQL DB, or Amazon RDS SQL Server for years. You’re jaded. You’re confident. You’re pretty sure you know what you’re doing. You’ve never taken my Mastering classes because you’ve read the blog, watched the live streams, and figured you’ve pieced it all together. You can’t imagine there’s anything left to learn — no surprises left in the box.

If anything I want AI to do, it is generating an application ... it still cannot generate a powerbi app based on a provided ddl. All it does is giving me a nice HowTo and the advised steps to keep in mind.
Draw me a nice picture, right
