Site collection content database

Question

If a site collection content database size grow up; can I add a second Content Database to it? if No, what's the solution?

Answer 1

A site collection have a single content database, we can't have 2 content database for a single site collection.

Now couple of things you can do.

• Clean Up, delete all unused files, items etc. Clear the recycle bin.

• we can also split the site collection into multiple site collections. Like if you have multiple subsites in it than make those subsites a separate site collection n move into different content database.

• Create a new site collection, move the old data in that site collection.
