the database in sql server 2019 enabled ADR , when I update a column like size in 10GB , will the original mdf for that database grow 10GB due to version store ?

And also for rollback, the modified extent are overwrite from that in the version store , how long will it takes ? Or just some back end metadata pointing or switch over??

and for the insert statement , will it also create version store ??

    Hi @sakuraime ,

    > will the original mdf for that database grow 10GB due to version store

    No. The extra versioning information leads the mdf file growing, but the size will less than 10 GB. There is a new asynchronous cleaner process, which iterates through all relevant databases (similar to ghost cleanup) and deallocates unneeded page versions. It runs every minute.
