Determine SQL Server Database Size

Question

sp_spaceused

sp_helpdb

no looping needed, unlike sp_spaceused.

According to SQL2000 help, sp_spaceused includes data and indexes.

This script should do:

CREATE TABLE #t (name SYSNAME, rows CHAR(11), reserved VARCHAR(18), 
data VARCHAR(18), index_size VARCHAR(18), unused VARCHAR(18))

EXEC sp_msforeachtable 'INSERT INTO #t EXEC sp_spaceused ''?'''
-- SELECT * FROM #t ORDER BY name
-- SELECT name, CONVERT(INT, SUBSTRING(data, 1, LEN(data)-3)) FROM #t ORDER BY name
SELECT SUM(CONVERT(INT, SUBSTRING(data, 1, LEN(data)-3))) FROM #t
DROP TABLE #t

In SQL Management Studio, right-click on a database and select "Properties" from the context menu. Look at the "Size" figure.

The best solution is maybe to calculate the size of each database file, using the sys.sysfiles view, considering a size of 8 KB for each page, as follows:

USE [myDatabase]
GO

SELECT
    [size] * 8
    , [filename]
FROM sysfiles

The [field] column represents the size of the file, in pages (MSDN Reference to sysfiles).

You would see there will be at least two files (MDF and LDF): the sum of these files will give you the correct size of the entire database...

I always liked going after it directly:

SELECT 
    DB_NAME( dbid ) AS DatabaseName, 
    CAST( ( SUM( size ) * 8 ) / ( 1024.0 * 1024.0 ) AS decimal( 10, 2 ) ) AS DbSizeGb 
FROM 
    sys.sysaltfiles 
GROUP BY 
    DB_NAME( dbid )

You could use this old fashioned one as well...

set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
