Hi,
How do I check what is the actual DB size that is currently being use?
e.g. I set 10 GB as initial size. A few days and a few transactions later, how can I know how much was used since it is still under 10GB and checking the physical DB file will not tell me anything.
The Tabular model is showing 19 GB on disk, but it is acquiring around 40 GB in memory.

An MSSQL DB running SAP indicates a smaller DB size (MMC & SAP) than the actual physical size. The difference is about 8 GB.
A lot of records were deleted before this. Did they remain in the DB as NULL values or something ?
Does anyone know what the reason for this could be ? And how to clean this up ?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
Hi Everybody,
I like to compute the actual physical database file size using queries.
From the EM database properties, the file size shown is not matching with the master..sysaltfiles.size
Ex. Actual file size is 12MB and 1MB for MDF & LDF respectively.
'sysaltfiles' shows 1464 & 96 resp. Since they are shoing it as 8K Pages,
96*8 = 768KB is not matching with 1024KB for the LDF file.
Is there any overheads (additional space from the physical file for file headers) allocated?
Thanks

Need to know the actual size on the tape drive
I€™m using LTO3 tape drive (400GB) the used media is for LTO2, currently I€™m looking for LTO4(1.6TB) but I need the backward compatibility to support LTO3 tapes so I can go for LTO2 media or LTO3 media.
I need to know the size of the database backup (Ms SQL2005 SP1 x64-bit, on Ms Windows 2003 R2 x64-bit) on the tape drive. I can see the backup size of the database but not the size on the tape which is using hardware compression.
Is there a way or a tool to view that.
Sql Server has many data types.
For Example:
smallint
Integer data from -2^15 (-32,768) through 2^15 - 1 (32,767). Storage size is 2 bytes.
I want to know that
If it contains like 0 or 100 or 1000 or -200 or -2000 or more or less.
What will its actual size?
2 bytes or change with the value.
Please also mention the reference with your answer. if available.
Howdy folks! (I feel im creating too many topics...but all my questions are unrelated :-/)
Dev environment: SSCE, Native c++ OLE code, Win CE 5
I have a routine that calculates the size of a set of columns in order to create a byte buffer for retrieving data from an IRowset and inserting it into a custom class. This method works great for all data types except ntext. When I look at the column information from an ntext field, the DBCOLUMNINFO::ulColumnSize member holds 536,870,911 (the max length of an ntext type). Obviously I dont want to allocate 1GB of memory for each ntext column. Is there anyway (natively) to determine the actual number of characters in a field?
I have a view in SQLServer 2005. It took 30 sec. to finish. Then I deleted 4500 records from one table that is used in view. It took 90 sec. to finish now. I did a comparison on Actual Execution Plan between before I deleted data and after I deleted data, they are almost same, only different is Actual Number Rows become less after deleted data. So, I wonder why data become less but time become more. When I look closely on the Actual Execution Plan, the ridiculous thing is, there are only Estimated Operation Cost on each step, no Actual Operation Cost. I guess there are something wrong with optimizer because reuse same Execution Plan, but how can I tell which step wrong without Actual Operation Cost.
Thanks!

Hi
I am trying to check the size of each table in my database?
SELECT <TableName> , 'Size in bytes/megabytes' FROM DATABASE
I can't for the lif of me figure out how this is done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have to deal with an environment where the developers create and modify tables at will, and the tool they use does not check if the table created is over the 8060 limit for a table. I have a sql statement below which checks the size for me, but I can't figure out how to put a where clause on it to check for the size being over 8060. I i have over 1000 tables to check and was going to write a cursor routine to check it and print it, but I need te where clause to work.Any help appreciated
select Name=left(c.name,20),
c.prec, scale = ISNULL(c.scale,0),
t.name from syscolumns c inner join systypes
t on c.xtype = t.xtype where id in
(select id from sysobjects where name = 'mh_demographic2_')
order by c.colid COMPUTE sum(c.prec)
Dear all,
Could you tell me which code of vb scrip that i can check file size as follow ?
Dim FSO, Fyl
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Fyl = CreateObject("File")
If FSO.FileExists("C: emplcbseg.log") Then
Set Fyl = FSO.GetFile("C: emplcbseg.log")
If Fyl.Size > 0 Then
Main = DTSStepScriptResult_ExecuteTask
Else
Main = DTSStepScriptResult_DontExecuteTask
End If
End if
Thanks

I need find out the number of columns in flat file before i process that particular file.
I have file name in @filename variable and file path is @filepath variable.
But do not not that how i will check the column name in before i will process that file.
@filePath = C:DatabaseSourceFilesCAHCVSSourceFiles
And I am using for each loop container to read the file one by one and put the file name in @filename variable.
and my file name like
Product_20120607060930.txt
Product_20130708060930.txt
My file structure is:
ID,Name,City,Country,Phone
1,Riya,Pune,India,454564
2,Jiya,New Jersey,India,454564
3,Riya,St Louis,USA,454564
4,Riya,Belleville,USA,454564
5,Riya,Miami,USA,454564
Now what i have to do is i need to make sure that ID,Name,City,County,Phone is there in flat file. if it is not there then i have to send mail to client saying that file is not valid.
Let me know how i will do it.I need to also calculate the size of flat file.
I found it pretty interesting. I checked the size of a database, before implementing database compression across all the user tables in a database. And Post implementation of compression too I checked the size of the database.
I did not find any difference. But if I expand the table and check propetires->storage and I can see that PAGE compression is implemented across all the tables, but no compaction in the size of the db. It still remains the same.
How can we monitor the all tables in all databases and send notifications to the team.Is there a way to check to find the no of rows and size of a table last month and find out growth % now

Hi Guys
I pick up the following in a profiler trace.
exec
sp_cursorexecute 197, @P1 output, @P2 output, @P3 output, @P4 output,
'PSRF_REPORTING_FOLDERS', 'Jan 1 1900 12:00:00:000AM'
Normally to find the actual sql that executes i go up in the trace until i find the relevant cursor prepare. In this case the one for 197 cursor prepare.
But this time around i cannot find it, these are app servers connected so for all i know the cursor could be prepared at 5am in the morning and re-used all day long.
Is there anyway (adding certain profiler events or something), so that i can see the actual statement held in the cursor ?
Thanx

6
When I do my query
Select Distinct count([Claim]) from Table
It comes up with 2.How do I have it recognize that I need the actual number count? I need it to be 43.

I have a stored procedure that will execute with less than 1,000 reads onetime (with a specified set of parameters), then with a different set ofparameters the procedure executes with close to 500,000 reads (according toProfiler).In comparing the execution plans, they are the same, except for the actualand estimated number of rows. When the proc runs with parameters that producereads that are less than 1,000 the actual and estimated number of rows equal1. When the proc runs with parameters that produce reads are near 500,000 theactual rows are approximately 85,000 and the estimated rows equal 1.Then I run:DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSDBCC FREEPROCCACHEIf I then reverse the order of execution by executing the procedure thatinitially executes with close to 500,000 reads first, the reads drop to lessthan 2,000. The execution plan shows the acutual number of rows equal to 1,and the estimated rows equal to 2.27. Then when I run the procedure thatinitially executed with less than 1,000 reads, it continues to run at lessthan 1,000 reads, and the actual number of rows is equal to 1 and theestimated rows equal to 2.27. When run in this order, there is consistency inthe actual and estimated number of rows and the reads for both executionswith differing parameters are within reason.Do I need to run DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS and DBCC FREEPROCCACHE on productionand then ensure that the procedure that ran close to 500,000 reads is runfirst to ensure the proper plan, as well as using a KEEP PLAN option? Or,what other options might you recommend?I am running SQL 2000 SP4.--Message posted via SQLMonster.comhttp://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum...eneral/200609/1

Also, later, able to pull it up from the table? What are the options?
Please advise.
