| The wait type PREEMPTIVE_FILESIZEGET is ranked #200 by Stedman Solutions and Database Health Monitor. Wait statistics, in the context of SQL Server, refer to the amount of time that a query spends waiting to access data in the database. When a client application requests data from the database, the request is placed in a queue and the client application must wait for its turn to access the data. The time that the query spends waiting is called a "wait" and is tracked by SQL Server. This information can be used to identify potential performance bottlenecks and optimize the performance of the database. Wait statistics are commonly used by database administrators to diagnose and troubleshoot performance issues in SQL Server. SQL Server is a database management system that is used to store and retrieve data. In order to run efficiently, SQL Server uses a number of different "wait types" to manage its internal processes. One of these wait types is called PREEMPTIVE_FILESIZEGET. A wait type is a specific type of delay that SQL Server experiences while it is running a query or performing other tasks. When SQL Server encounters a PREEMPTIVE_FILESIZEGET wait type, it means that it is waiting for information about the size of a file on the database servers hard drive. This type of wait typically occurs when SQL Server is trying to access a file that it needs in order to complete a query or other task. For example, if a user is running a query that requires data from a particular file, SQL Server may need to know the size of that file in order to properly allocate resources and run the query efficiently. While PREEMPTIVE_FILESIZEGET wait types are generally not a cause for concern, they can indicate potential performance issues if they are occurring frequently or for long periods of time. In these cases, it may be necessary to optimize the database or the queries being run in order to reduce the number of PREEMPTIVE_FILESIZEGET waits and improve overall performance. In summary, PREEMPTIVE_FILESIZEGET is a wait type in SQL Server that occurs when the database is waiting for information about the size of a file on the servers hard drive. This type of wait is typically not a problem, but it can indicate potential performance issues if it occurs frequently or for long periods of time.
