Database Size

  • I was wondering if there was a stored procedure that could be run to calculate the total size of each or all the databases by using the actual DATA(.MDF), Transaction(.LDF) files size. This comes useful when someone does not have direct access to those files to simply be able to view the size.

  • Do you want them split out? sp_helpdb gives you the total size of the two.

    sp_helpfile

    gives each for the current database. Need to run this in the context of all dbs to get the totals.

  • select sum(size) from master.dbo.sysaltfiles

    -or- for $5 more you can have the database names.

    select db_name(dbid), sum(size) from master.dbo.sysaltfiles group by dbid

    To add on to Steve's, try this: exec sp_msforeachdb '?.dbo.sp_helpfile'

  • Hi,

    Just try follwoing usp. U will get all DB sizes in a server.

    CREATE PROCEDURE Usp_FindAllDBSizes

    AS

    SET NOCOUNT ON

    DECLARE @counter SMALLINT

    DECLARE @counter1 SMALLINT

    DECLARE @dbname VARCHAR(100)

    DECLARE @size INT

    DECLARE @size1 DECIMAL(15,2)

    SET @size1=0.0

    SELECT @counter=MAX(dbid) FROM master..sysdatabases

    IF EXISTS(SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name='sizeinfo')

    DROP TABLE sizeinfo

    CREATE TABLE sizeinfo(fileid SMALLINT, filesize DECIMAL(15,2), filename VARCHAR(1000))

    WHILE @counter > 0

    BEGIN

    SELECT @dbname=name FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE dbid=@counter

    TRUNCATE TABLE sizeinfo

    EXEC ('INSERT INTO sizeinfo SELECT fileid,size,filename FROM '+ @dbname +'..SYSFILES')

    SELECT @counter1=MAX(fileid) FROM sizeinfo

    WHILE @counter1>0

    BEGIN

    SELECT @size=filesize FROM sizeinfo WHERE fileid=@counter1

    SET @size1=@size1+@size

    SET @counter1=@counter1-1

    END

    SET @counter=@counter-1

    SELECT UPPER(@dbname) AS DBNAME,CAST(((@size1)*0.0078125) AS DECIMAL(15,2)) AS [DBSIZE(MB)]

    SET @size1=0.0

    END

    SET NOCOUNT OFF
