- Space for planned views, stored procedures, defaults, rules, and triggers
- Size of the transaction log
- Space for anticipated expansion
- Database device location, and whether there is enough space on that device.
- Transaction log location – Sybase recommends that you store the transaction log on a different device than the data.
