Hi Team,
I followed this link to export and import data in Microsoft Dynamics Navision 2013.
But I find a big issue.
When I try to import a 110MB data to an existing database, the original database size is 22GB, after finished, the database file size increased to 59GB.(No include log file size).
Then I did a second test, I tried to import an 25GB data to an existing database, the original database size is 22GB, I only finished 32%, and the database file size increased to 320GB. So I have to cancel the importing process.
What I missed? Why it processed so slow and eat so much disk capacity?

Yesterday, I tired to import the 25GB .navdata file again, the .ndf file increased to 630GB, and only finished 51%. I think the file size is too big to accept. There should have some reason.
No, I have tried to set the recovery model to simple and bulk-logged model, but it is same.
And the size I means is the .ndf file.
data in a file does not mean it will be equal data in a database. A database creates indexes and they take a lot of space. the data in the file is zipped and data in a database is not.
Do you have recovery model = full in your database? If so, the log is growing because it logs every transaction.
However, if you perform a full backup, then the log is shrinked and must return to the size set by the administrator.
