If I have a database with a list of tables is there a way to calculate the size of each table individually and
then calculate the size all the tables. If you have 1 table with say 10 rows and 3 columns and the width of the
columns are of variable length you could do something like
I need to calculate the size of a database. Is the following formula correct?? (a) The size of a record (i.e. sum of all the columns) divide by 8Kb. (b) Divide number of records by answer from (a) (c) Multiple (b) by 8Kb (d) Sum up the tables
How do I calculate the Record size? I mean the Row size for each table. I heard that there are formulas to do that and the calculation is different for Fixed lenght Columns and Variable length Columns.
I need to calculate the record size for nearly 500 tables.This will help me to decide on the DISk capacities.
Suggest me if any scipts or calculations already available.
I've seen plenty of posts regarding the estimation of table size,usually in the processing of planning for server storage needs.Well, I've got a different problem. I need to know how much data eachof our Customers are using in a Database. (1 SQL DB stores multiplecustomers).Basically, I want to be able to say: Customer A: 45.5 MB, Customer B:655 MB.So, how can I ask SQL Server how much data each Row in each table istaking up? I want to be able to calculate nightly the total size, so Iwould take each row in each table that belong to the customer, and addall the sizes together. I want to take into account blobs that arestoring images and PDF files also.Thanks in advance,Jesse Wolgamott
I'm working on a database for a financial client and part of what i need to do is calculate a value from two separate rows in the same table and insert the result in the same table as a new row. I have a way of doing so but i consider it to be extremely inelegant and i'm hoping there's a better way of doing it. A description of the existing database schema (which i have control over) will help in explaining the problem:
id metric_id metric_type_id metric_name 1 80 2 Fiscal Enterprise Value Historic Year 1 2 81 2 Fiscal Enterprise Value Current Fiscal Year 3 82 2 Fiscal Enterprise value Forward Fiscal year 1 4 83 2 Fiscal Enterprise Value Forward Fiscal Year 2 5 101 3 Calendar Enterprise value Historic Year 1 6 102 3 Calendar Enterprise Value Current Fiscal Year 5 103 3 Calendar Enterprise value Forward Year 1 6 104 3 Calendar Enterprise Value Forward Year 2
Table Name: metric_type_details
id metric_type_id metric_type_name 1 1 Raw 2 2 Fiscal 3 3 Calendar 4 4 Calculated
The problem scenario is the following: Because a certain number of the securities have a fiscal year end that is different to the calendar end in addition to having fiscal data (such as fiscal enterprise value and fiscal earnings etc...) for each security i also need to store calendarised data. What this means is that if security with security_id = 3 has a fiscal year end of October then using rows with ids = 1, 2, 3 and 4 from the metrics_ladder table i need to calculate metrics with metric_id = 83, 84, 85 and 86 (as described in the metric_details table) and insert the following 4 new records into metrics_ladder:
Metric with metric_id = 101 (Calendar Enterprise value Historic Year 1) will be calculated by taking 10/12 of the value for metric_id 80 plus 2/12 of the value for metric_id 81.
Similarly, metric_id 102 will be equal to 10/12 of the value for metric_id 81 plus 2/12 of the value for metric_id 82,
metric_id 103 will be equal to 10/12 of the value for metric_id 82 plus 2/12 of the value for metric_id 83 and finally
metric_id 104 will be NULL (determined by business requirements as there is no data for forward year 3 to use).
As i could think of no better way of doing this (and hence the reason for this thread) I am currently achieving this by pivoting the relevant data from the metrics_ladder so that the required data for each security is in one row, storing the result in a new column then unpivoting again to store the result in the metrics_ladder table. So the above data in nmetrics_ladder becomes:
-- Dummy year variable to make it easier to use MONTH() function -- to convert 3 letter month to number. i.e. JAN -> 1, DEC -> 12 etc... DECLARE @DUMMY_YEAR VARCHAR(4) SET @DUMMY_YEAR = 1900;
with temp(security_id, metric_id, value) as ( select ml.security_id, ml.metric_id, ml.value from metrics_ladder ml where ml.metric_id in (80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,etc...) -- only consider securities with fiscal year end not equal to december and ml.security_id in (select security_id from company_details where fiscal_year_end <> 'dec') ) insert into @calendar_averages select temppivot.security_id -- Net Income ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[80]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[81]) as [101] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[81]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[82]) as [102] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[82]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[83]) as [103] ,NULL as [104] -- Share Holders Equity ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[84]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[85]) as [105] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[85]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[86]) as [106] ,(CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR))/12*[86]) +((12 - CONVERT(DECIMAL, MONTH(cd.fiscal_year_end + @DUMMY_YEAR)))/12*[87]) as [107] ,NULL as [108] -- Capex -- Sales -- Accounts payable etc... .. .. from temp pivot ( sum(value) for metric_id in ([80],[81],[82],[83],[84],[85],[86],[87],[88],etc...) ) as temppivot inner join company_details cd on temppivot.security_id = cd.security_id
********* END SQL *********
The result then needs to be unpivoted and stored in metrics_ladder.
And FINALLY, the question! Is there a more elegant way of achieving this??? I have complete control over the database schema so if creating mapping tables or anything along those lines would help it is possible. Also, is SQL not really suited for such operations and would it therefore be better done in C#/VB.NET.
I currently have 8,000 rows in the orders table and it is estimated that it will have in average 50 orders daily. The orders need to be kept for 6 months, before it is archived and deleted from the database. I calculated the amount of space that needs to be reserved for the table but unsure if I am on the right track in calculating the table size.
would there be anything wrong in my calcultation that i missed?

I need to calculate a median on a column in a table. The code I have is:
Code: Select gender, CASE when gender = 'F' then 'Female' when gender = 'M' then 'Male' else 'Unknown' end as test, datediff(day, [admit_date], getdate()) as 'datediffcal', from [tbl_record] How do I calculate the median on the datediffcal column?
It doesn't matter if the resultset only shows the median result. So if the output shows:
Hi, i use this script that show me the size of each table and do the sum of all the table size.
SELECT X.[name], REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[rows]), 1), '.00', '') AS [rows], REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[reserved]), 1), '.00', '') AS [reserved], REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[data]), 1), '.00', '') AS [data], REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[index_size]), 1), '.00', '') AS [index_size], REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[unused]), 1), '.00', '') AS [unused] FROM (SELECT CAST(object_name(id) AS varchar(50)) AS [name], SUM(CASE WHEN indid < 2 THEN CONVERT(bigint, [rows]) END) AS [rows], SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved)) * 8 AS reserved, SUM(CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS data, SUM(CONVERT(bigint, used) - CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS index_size, SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved) - CONVERT(bigint, used)) * 8 AS unused FROM sysindexes WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE sysindexes.indid IN (0, 1, 255) AND sysindexes.id > 100 AND object_name(sysindexes.id) <> 'dtproperties' GROUP BY sysindexes.id WITH ROLLUP) AS X ORDER BY X.[name]
the problem is that the sum of all tables is not the same size when i make a full database backup. example of this is when i run this query against my database i see a sum of 111,899 KB that they are 111MB,but when i do full backup to that database the size of this full backup is 1.5GB,why is that and where this size come from?
I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
The largest table in our database eats up above 4G . we do "sp_spaceused" for this table.The length of all columns of this table ( just int, char, varchar, money ,numeric fields types) is about 200 bytes, and the table has around 1,300,000 rows, but the reserved spaced for this table is 4,800,000kb and the data space is around 4,600,00kb.
How can average each row take 3.7kb ( the total size of all columns just 200 bytes)? Any other things I need check? Any one can give any suggestion what cause this problem? or it is normal?
I am wondering if there is the limitation of maximum table size in SQL 6.5. I have a table with 2.6GB and 12,000,000 rows in SQL 6.5 database. Is this a problem?
Is there a practical size limit, in MB's, of a table in SQL Server 6.5?
Is there a size, that once exceeded, degrades performance signifigantly?
I am speaking of raw megabytes. The table in question will consist of only 3 int columns but has the possiblity of becoming VERY LARGE (+1,000,000 rows). I am still in the design phase and can change my strategy if this will prove to be a problem.
I am trying to solve this problem for quite some time.. I was wondering if I can get some help..
These questions are all abt. MSSQL 6.5
1. Is there a limit on the size of the table ? 2. Does it make sense to have more tables if the size of the row size is more that the limit set by 6.5 or i should let have more rows in a different table with duplicate entries for a particular field. 3. What is the number of rows before the performance of a query starts getting affected..
Is there a maximum or optimum number of rows I should have in a table so that I can have fastest search queries. I am a novice programmer just developed something for my work place. The database has a table created by converting data from excel spreadsheets. There were 24 spreadsheets for 12 months each having approximately 500 rows. Designed this way the table will have approximately 24 * 500 = 12000 records. Should I consider redesigning the database to make searches faster
Hi. I am trying to get a row count of each row of each table in the database. Is that possible? Using a SP or UDFS? I dont want the column size of each table but the total datasize of each row.So for example if I have 5 rows each in 3 tables I need a query that will return 15 rows with the size of each row(size of all coumn data summed together). Thanks.
How do I find the average size of a row in a table? I need to calculate a row size in a number of tables, then sum those to find the average size of one record ( a hotel guest in this case), which includes entries in a dozen tables.
I have inherited a system where several of the tables have WAY TOO MANY fields (over 255) and performance, well, you know.
I've been thinking about breaking the tables out into multiple tables and I know a view linking all these tables together can provide me with backward compatibility.
I'm wondering if a view will truely be a greater gain than leaving it alone while we redesign. hhhmmmm
Hi, I am getting this error when I try to run a script to create a table. The error reads as below
The total row size (12488) for table exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). Rows that exceed the maximum number of bytes will not be added.
Can somebody tell me what I have done wrong? thanks zoey
