How can I get the list of available databases on a SQL Server instance? I'm planning to make a list of them in a combo box in VB.NET.

To do that we will be using the below given commands: CREATE TABLE [database_name.] table_name ( pk_column data_type PRIMARY KEY, column_1 data_type NOT NULL, column_2 data_type, ..., table_constraints ); If we do not mention the name of the database then the default USE database is selected for the creation of tables.
If you need to check a single database, you can quickly find the SQL Server database sizein SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS): Right-click the database and then click Reports -> Standard Reports -> Disk Usage. Alternatively, you can use stored procedures like exec sp_spaceused to get database size.
Execute:
SELECT name FROM master.sys.databases
This the preferred approach now, rather than dbo.sysdatabases, which has been deprecated for some time.
Execute this query:
SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases or if you prefer
EXEC sp_databases If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
