Queries to generate a Disk Usage by Top Tables report in SQL Azure?

I like using the SQL Management Studio report 'Disk Usage by Top Tables' to see what's taking up space in my databases. What equivalent query can I use in SQL Azure to see

  • number of rows per table
  • disk usage per table (preferably breaking out data and index)

In SQL Profiler I can see that the Disk Usage by Top Tables report normally runs this:

begin try 

    SELECT TOP 1000
        (row_number() over(order by (a1.reserved + ISNULL(a4.reserved,0)) desc))%2 as l1,
        a3.name AS [schemaname],
        a2.name AS [tablename],
        a1.rows as row_count,
        (a1.reserved + ISNULL(a4.reserved,0))* 8 AS reserved,
        a1.data * 8 AS data,
        (CASE WHEN (a1.used + ISNULL(a4.used,0)) > a1.data THEN (a1.used + ISNULL(a4.used,0)) - a1.data ELSE 0 END) * 8 AS index_size,
        (CASE WHEN (a1.reserved + ISNULL(a4.reserved,0)) > a1.used THEN (a1.reserved + ISNULL(a4.reserved,0)) - a1.used ELSE 0 END) * 8 AS unused

    FROM    (   SELECT
                ps.object_id,
                SUM ( CASE WHEN (ps.index_id < 2) THEN row_count    ELSE 0 END ) AS [rows],
                SUM (ps.reserved_page_count) AS reserved,
                SUM (CASE   WHEN (ps.index_id < 2) THEN (ps.in_row_data_page_count + ps.lob_used_page_count + ps.row_overflow_used_page_count)
                            ELSE (ps.lob_used_page_count + ps.row_overflow_used_page_count) END
                    ) AS data,
                SUM (ps.used_page_count) AS used
                FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats ps
                GROUP BY ps.object_id
            ) AS a1

    LEFT OUTER JOIN (   SELECT
                        it.parent_id,
                        SUM(ps.reserved_page_count) AS reserved,
                        SUM(ps.used_page_count) AS used
                        FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats ps
                        INNER JOIN sys.internal_tables it ON (it.object_id = ps.object_id)
                        WHERE it.internal_type IN (202,204)
                        GROUP BY it.parent_id
                    ) AS a4 ON (a4.parent_id = a1.object_id)

    INNER JOIN sys.all_objects a2  ON ( a1.object_id = a2.object_id )

    INNER JOIN sys.schemas a3 ON (a2.schema_id = a3.schema_id)

    WHERE a2.type <> N'S' and a2.type <> N'IT'

end try
begin catch
    select
    -100 as l1
    ,   1 as schemaname
    ,       ERROR_NUMBER() as tablename
    ,       ERROR_SEVERITY() as row_count
    ,       ERROR_STATE() as reserved
    ,       ERROR_MESSAGE() as data
    ,       1 as index_size
    ,       1 as unused
end catch

but that fails when running against SQL Azure with message

Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Invalid object name 'sys.internal_tables'.

How can we find space used by tables in SQL Server using query?

To display data and log space information for a database In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of SQL Server and then expand that instance. Expand Databases. Right-click a database, point to Reports, point to Standard Reports, and then select Disk Usage.

How do I check my data usage on Azure SQL?

Connect to the query editor On your SQL database Overview page in the Azure portal, select Query editor (preview) from the left menu. On the sign-in screen, provide credentials to connect to the database. You can connect using SQL authentication or Azure AD.

Which command is used to fetch the desired records from a table?

SELECT statements An SQL SELECT statement retrieves records from a database table according to clauses (for example, FROM and WHERE ) that specify criteria. The syntax is: SELECT column1, column2 FROM table1, table2 WHERE column2='value';

EDIT 24 May 2016: Doesn't seem to work these days ... I'll have to rework this

Well I guess since it's sys.internal_tables that's the problem the simplest thing is to remove it from the mix. A slight adjustment and we're left with this:

 SELECT TOP 1000
        a3.name AS SchemaName,
        a2.name AS TableName,
        a1.rows as Row_Count,
        (a1.reserved )* 8.0 / 1024 AS reserved_mb,
        a1.data * 8.0 / 1024 AS data_mb,
        (CASE WHEN (a1.used ) > a1.data THEN (a1.used ) - a1.data ELSE 0 END) * 8.0 / 1024 AS index_size_mb,
        (CASE WHEN (a1.reserved ) > a1.used THEN (a1.reserved ) - a1.used ELSE 0 END) * 8.0 / 1024 AS unused_mb

    FROM    (   SELECT
                ps.object_id,
                SUM ( CASE WHEN (ps.index_id < 2) THEN row_count    ELSE 0 END ) AS [rows],
                SUM (ps.reserved_page_count) AS reserved,
                SUM (CASE   WHEN (ps.index_id < 2) THEN (ps.in_row_data_page_count + ps.lob_used_page_count + ps.row_overflow_used_page_count)
                            ELSE (ps.lob_used_page_count + ps.row_overflow_used_page_count) END
                    ) AS data,
                SUM (ps.used_page_count) AS used
                FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats ps
                GROUP BY ps.object_id
            ) AS a1

    INNER JOIN sys.all_objects a2  ON ( a1.object_id = a2.object_id )

    INNER JOIN sys.schemas a3 ON (a2.schema_id = a3.schema_id)

    WHERE a2.type <> N'S' and a2.type <> N'IT'   
    order by a1.data desc         

There are some interesting management views and functions provided by Azure but not needed in this case ... I think.
