What filled up tempdb?
User temdpb usage is related to creating and populating @table variables or #temporary tables and explicitly populating them. System tempdb usage is related to large operations such as hash joins or sorts which cannot fit into memory and as a result must spill into tempdb.
Can table variable store temporary data?
The storage for the table variable is also in the tempdb database. We can use temporary tables in explicit transactions as well. Table variables cannot be used in explicit transactions.
What is the difference between table variable and temp table?

How big of a session is filling up tempdb?
The first set of results is more likely to have queries performing large tempdb spills (internal usage), whereas the second set of results is more likely to be a user explicitly creating large table variables or temp tables. In the screenshot below you can see that a session was consuming 87 MB of tempdb.
How to calculate the size of a tempdb log file?
Each data file size ( W ) = ( 100 * .9 )/ ( 3 + 2 ) = 18GB This will help you to figure out the size requirement of data file and approximate log file size. However, log file size should also need more attention for proper functioning and based on available memory. Below section will cover the log file requirement for TempDb database.
Why is tempdb an important part of SQL Server?
