Following the discussion in How to measure table size in GB in a table in SQL, I'm looking for a solution to measure the space used by all the tables of a SQL Server individually using the store procedure sp_spaceused
.
The following base query works. It gets the same output as sp_spaceused
, using the same algorithm, but much more efficiently. Please do not use the CURSOR
+ sp_spaceused
method; there is absolutely no reason to do that. And a potential problem with using sp_spaceused
is that it is intended to be a report proc so the output is all text, not actual numbers, and parsing that back into numbers can be error-prone.
It is also best to not use either sys.tables
or sp_msforeachtable
as they both exclude indexed views.
The following is exactly the same as sp_spaceused in terms of:
If you need it to work for all databases, it can be easily adapted for that as well.
If you need this data broken down per index, I have adapted the following query in response to this question on DBA.StackExchange: space usage on sys.allocation_units and sp_spaceused

I know this isn't exactly what you are asking for as it DOESN'T use sp_spaceused but this will provide the results you are after.

Let me know if you really need it to use sp_spaceused.
There are a couple of options here:
sp_msforeachtable
sp_msforeachtable 'exec sp_spaceused [?]'
While sp_msforeachtable can be used for this is has a couple of limitations:
Collated results
With a little more work, we can collate all the results into a single data set, avoiding these limitations. The pattern of this solution is similar whenever there is a requirement to run a sproc a bunch of times with different parameters and to collate the results from those runs.
--Get list of interesting tables
declare @tables table(id int identity(1,1), name varchar(200))
declare @tablename varchar(200)
insert @tables
select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_type = 'BASE TABLE'
--Define table for results
declare @info table(name varchar(200), rows bigint, reserved varchar(200), data varchar(200), index_size varchar(200), unused varchar(200))
--Working vars
declare @max int, @pos int
select @max = count(1), @pos = 1 from @tables
--Loop to get all results
while @pos <= @max
begin
select @tablename = name from @tables where id = @pos
insert @info
exec sp_spaceused @tablename
set @pos = @pos + 1
end
--return all results
select * from @info
I prefer to use variable tables for this, but a cursor/temp table can be used as well.
