Check All Databases For File Space Used
Aug 29, 2006
Hi There
As part of monitoring i want to hourly check the data file percentage used for each database, to monitor growth and know in advance when a data file will be full.
However i do not want to write a job for ever single database , this instance may have up to 100 databases that = 100 jobs.
So i want to write a job that checks the percentage space used for all databases.
My first dilema is that i cannot loop through databases dynamically, by that i mean if i use a cursor that loops through database names, and i dynamically build sql the say 'USE @DBNAME' and execute it the cursor context stays local you do not actually change database context.
So how do i loop though databases, i have found
sp_msforeachdb, however this is undocumented in BOL.
Secondly how do i check the percentage of space used for the data file or files for a database, i could use DBCC SHOWFILESTATS, however this is also not documented in BOL.
Obviously i would rather use documented methods.
So bottom line what tsql could i use to check the percentage of file space use for all databases?
Thanx

Hi,
I understand that the Express Edition can create databases up to a size of 4GB. Is there a way to check the space left for a particular database via C++?
Thanks in advance.

Here is one of the MCDBA exam question.
Does anyone explain how to do the following?
I click new alert, and selected 'Sql server performance condition alert' Type
But I don't know which object and counter I should choose to get disk space left.
Thank you..
Q: You are the administrator of Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server computer. The server is also
running SQL Server 2000 and contains a database named Sales. The server is configured as shown in
the exhibit.
The sales database is configured by using the default options and increases by 50MB per day. You
want an operator to be notified automatically before the database runs out of disk space. You also
want to minimize the amount of administrative overhead necessary for this database.
What should you do?
A:
Configure systems monitor to log an alert if the hard disk database contains less than 600MB of disk
space. Configure SQL server agent to send an e-mail message notifying the operator of the system
monitor alert.
Explanation: The solution with least administrative effort is to set up a system monitor alert to log when
disk space is below a certain threshold, here 600MB. Then configure the SQL Server agent to trap this event
and send an e-mail notifying the operator when this occurs.
Note: Using SQL Server Agent, you can define alerts and configure responses to alerts.
SQL Server Agent monitors the Windows application log and compares each SQL Server event logged with
the alerts that have been defined. If a match is found, an event alert fires. SQL Server Agent can also
monitor specific SQL Server performance object counters and fire a performance condition alert when the
value for the counter is less than, equal to, or greater than a defined threshold. The Create Alert Wizard can
be used to configure the SQL Server agent for alerts.

Hello ,
I wanted to know on what basis the disk space allocation for the databases is planned . Suppose if we plan 60 GB for data files ( mdf )for a given database then what should be the space allocation for the log files ( ldf ) and the tempdb ( both mdf and ldf files ).
Is there any thumb rule or any defined ratio for the same ?
Thanks

Hi all,
I need a good t-sql script that will create a space usage and size report for all databases on server. Does anyone have a good t-sql script or know where I can run a report to gather details on database size, table size, index size and usage report? I know how to use sp_space_use_db but not to run against 200 databases on server for sql server 2000. Thanks.

I've production sql server 7 sp3 on windows NT. I had a 8GB data file ofwhich 5GB were used and 3GB were unused. I wanted to take back the unused3GB.So I did the following with EM GUI:1. I tried to "truncate fre space from end of the file". Didn't truncatethe file. I believe there was no empty space at the end of the file.2. Next I chose the option to "shrink file to 5GB". And to my horror thedata file instead of taking just 5GB took the empty spaces also and the sizeof the used data file went to 8GB.Any idea what's going on?TIA,SP

I am setting up Availability Groups and I want to use the secondary replica to perform the full copy_only backups to reduce the load on the primary replica.But what is the best way to check for successful full backups on Availability Group databases?
Previously I could check the system table msdb.dbo.backupset but this is not available for copy_only backups.So I wonder how people are monitoring that their full backups have been successful?
Do you just check that the SQL Agent job that runs the backup was successful?
Or do you search the SQL Server Error Log for entries like "Database backed up. Database: xxx" where database xxx is in an Availability Group?
Or is there a better method?

I am wondering how easy is to check for file locks and have our SSIS Package to wait until file has been release by the process which is using it.
Also, same question when we're writing to a Flat File (or Flat File Destination).

Hi,
I need to set up create a package so that I could check the date of the files posted in a folder, e.g. H:source. If there is no file created later than one day exists, then continue to check again one hour later. If files do exists, then copy then to c:dest and then upzip the files. Once this is done, sent an notification email to user@mydomain.com.
Thanks,

Hello,
I am trying to run SSIS project which is failing on one of the dataflow. This dataflow should create in Destination approximately 209,405,240 records. My flow is failing and the reason for it €“ size and log file.
This is the error I am getting.
An Ole db record is available. Source: €œMicrosoft SQL Native Client€? Hresult 0x80004005 Description: €œThe transaction log for database €˜tempdb€™ is full. To find
out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases.

Please let me know what can I do about it? Should I change some properties? How do I make it work and have better performance?

Is there a way to know how much space is free in each transaction log file of the same database?
Example:
A database with 3, 1GB files for transaction log: A, B and C created in this sequence.
From what I have read, since SQL Server 2005 writes to a single transaction log only, I guess if the transaction log is using 2.5GB than A and B are full and B is only half full. Is this correct?
Thanks.

Hi There
I would like to write sql to check that space used by any given data file in SS2000.
sp_spaceused only returns the total space used by the DB or object in the DB, not for a specific data file.
DBCC SHOWFILESTATS does give me this information , but it is not documented in BOL, i would prefer not to use an undocumented command to ensure future use in later versions. Is DBCC SHOWFILESTATS an undocumented T-SQL command ? If so what documented t-sql command will provide me with this information ?
I could query system table's and work this out , but as mentioned this may not not work in future versions of SS.
Thanx

I am currently SQL admin since our ordinary SQL folks are at summer vacation.
Yesterday SCOM alerted that File Group is running out of space on one not so critical database "The file group "PRIMARY" for the database "loganalys" in SQL instance "MSSQLSERVER" on computer "sqlserver2" is running out of space".
I logged in to the SQL server and checked the database in question. It is a very large DB with a size  of 577 GB.The storage on which the database files resides has 123 GB free space so that isn't the issue.
The database is set to autogrowth 1 MB at a time (unrestricted) so that doesn't seem to be the issue either.However, in the database properties under General, it says Space avaliable: 570 MB.
I guess that this may be the issue, that this is under some treshold for SCOM to alert on.I have looked at the other databases and they have everything between 0,25MB to 270MB space avaliable (they are all set to autogrowth 1 MB, unrestricted).
I am not sure what this means and if I have to do something about it?

The system I had developed is having a data flow as following:
Source received as file, .dat file
For better performance I€™m doing little transformation between .dat file to SSIS Raw file then from Raw files doing Type2 and Type3 mappings to adhere the business rules and loading the data to destination tables.
The .dat file I receive (there are many file some where around 25 file) is dumped in a folder as €œsource€? and the Raw file are in other folder as €œSSIS files€?.
My concern is the source folder size is 6GB and the same files converted in SSIS raw files format present in SSIS FILE folder and the size of this folder is 10GB.
Why is that so? Where as there€™s no extra data and the transformations between source and SISS files are like substring for the different date format and data type conversion.
Any ideas, your help in this would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hello all
as indicated by my stupid question, I am very new to sql. our vrsion is 2000 and I'm talking about in enterprise manager, the database that was created is not showing up in the list of db. Although I can see the file in explorer.
The problem I€™m having is when I try to attach the database €œmailarchive3Q2007_data.mdf€? it is also looking for the log file €œmailarchive3Q2007_log.ldf€? . The log file was removed by someone else off our system. I have a backup of the file but it is too large to restore now (160 gig) when the system was first set up the recovery model was not set to simple so the log just grew till it filled up our drive. I no longer have the drive space necessary to restore the log file and shrink it. So what do I do now? I need some kind of €œmailarchive3Q2007_log.ldf€? file to attach the database in enterprise manager.
Hope sombody can help.
thanks
Mike

We've got an alert setup on our production database to warn us when the log file(s) exceeds 7 gigs. The Alert is triggering:
"The SQL Server performance counter 'Log File(s) Size (KB)' (instance 'Lexus') of object 'SQLServer:Databases' is now above the threshold of 7000000.00 (the current value is 7057656.00)."
However, according to the file system, the database properties screen files, and properties tabs, the log files combined are at under 5 gigs so this alert should not be going off.
The scary part is, when going to right-click on the database, choosing "tasks" and going to "Shrink > Files", the "Free Space" shows negative numbers for the first log file:
Log 1
Currently Allocated space: 118.69 MB
Available Free Space: -5323.24 MB (-4485%)
Log 2
Currently Allocated space: 4853.13 MB
Available Free Space: 411.20 MB (7%)
Has anybody ever run into this? Should I be worried that there is a bigger issue at hand?
Thanks!
