I am trying to compute the actual size of data and indexes in my database.
I have used DBArtisan,Desktop DBA and SEM , they all gave me different results.
Does any body now a valide , correct way of determining the size and the utilization of the database.
-Also I am trying to come up with archive/purge procedures , is their publications,white papers or ideas about this issue.
Thanks in Advance

Does anyone know if there is a rough guide in terms of how much memory SQL server will normally use relative to the size of the actual databases that it is hosting?
For example, I'm working on a server that hosts only about 250-300 MB worth of data (including all of the full text indexes, etc.) but the sqlservr.exe process is using 1.25 GB of ram. Also Page Reads/sec is around 1200 -- despite there being over 5 GB of RAM available and not being used (the PF is about 3.25 GB, total memory in the machine is 8GB). Below that w3wp.exe uses only 290 MB and lsass.exe uses only about 225 MB. The machine is a web/database server that is hosting ASP.NET 2, ASP.NET & Classic ASP pages (and the associated databases). For the amount of hardware, the server seems to be responding to requests on the slow side. While some of this is probably due to the legacy code-base, there seems to be a noticeable difference in speed after SQL Server is restarted.
Thanks,
Jeremy
I'm trying to establish the mb usage of a series of nonclustered indexes, I'm used to using the manage indexes GUI in 6.5, and showcontig doesn't quite give me what I want, any suggestions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy records like below..I created a clustered index of DATE field .This is the only one index available in the table. The table contains nearly 5,00,000 records.Now after indexing the DB size increased from 14 GB to 26GB.
Recoverymodel OF DB is SIMPLE
Shall I shrink DB for reucing the size?Will it effect indexing????

How to estimate the size of datafile while creating the database?
View 2 Replies View RelatedNeed to confirm if we can add space(increase data file size) for the database which is configured for always on similar to that of mirroring or we need to follow any different procedure.
I have a requirement wherein the datafiles on both the primary and secondary replica got full, if i add space to the primary database will it automatically get added to the secondary replica or not?
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.
Hi, I have a problem importing data from SQL Server 2000 'text' columns to SQL Server 2005 nvarchar(max) columns. I get the following error when encountering a transfer of any column that matches the above.

I want to know encrypted data's size for designing database field size.
For example, cardnumber varchar(20) Encrypted by Triple_DES and PassPhrase, How match size does need to encrypted data store field.
I think the size does not depend to PassPhrase char length.

Just wanted to know what is a general rule of thumb when determining log file space against a database's data file.We allow our data file for our database to grow 10%, unlimited. We do not allow our log file to autogrow due to a specific and poorly written process (which we are in a three month process of remove) that can balloon the log file size.Should it be 10% of the Data file, i.e. if the Date file size is 800MB the log file should be 8MB?I realize there are a myraid of factors that go against file size but a general starting point would be nice.ThanksJeff--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com

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 have a client program that writes to sql server database 10 records per second . i want to compute the CPU usage and the memory usage for the whole program or CPU usage,memory usage for the insert statement in the program .
Can anybody help me with this?
Hello, When I am seeing SQL Server 2005 Management studio Server Dashboard> I am seeing my(USERS) databases and msdb database usage is very small % of in CPU Usage(%), Logical IO Performed (%) Usage pie chart.
90% of Total cpu usage is showing for Adhoc Queries. what excatly this means in Dashboard? if application uses more than it would have shown in Database level or not?
sicerely this dashboard is good, if any one is watching daily, please advice their experiences here.
Thanks in advance. Hail SQL Server!

database schema seems just a tag ?

Hey,
Is there somewhere in MSDE (or SQL) where you can see how many transaction are made to a sertain database or by a sertain user? At this way i could figure out witch database/user uses most (or least) recources (cpu) over a period of time.
Hi,
I used to use a insert subselect on the 6.5 catalog table
I am looking for the script to find the CPU usage for each database like this
Test1DB76.00%
Test2DB12.00%
Test3DB1.21%
Test4DB20.08%
I can use Profiler to see database usage activity. However, in addition to it, is there a good query I can use to see whether user databases are being used (last select, last update, last alter or last delete etc., with date/time stamp)?I am looking for both SQL2000 and SQL2005 as we need to decommission some of the older servers.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am coming to SQL Server from Access and using it mostly for making ASP.NET web apps.
I am not sure I correctly understand the characteristics of the varchar data type and I'm so far unable to find a basic explanation.
It seems that the benefit of this data type is that the actual disk storage involved varies according to what is in a given record's column. So for a column defined as varchar(500), a record where the column uses all 500 characters will use more bytes on disk than a record where the column uses only one.
This would seem to imply that unless there were some reason to limit the characters allowed into a column, it would be an advantage to define large columns, say varchar(8000), especially for memo type fields, or fields such as addresses where it seems like clients are always asking for more space as time passes.
Is this right? Is there any downside to defining large varchar columns assuming they do not conflict with business rules?
Many thanks

I am using SQL 2012 and I am trying to find buffer cache usage by DB objects within a particular DB.
I am running the following query
select
name as DB,
objname as db_object_name,
COUNT(name) as cache_page_count,
COUNT('x')*8.0/1024 as size_mb
[Code] ....
Following are the results:-
DB db_object_name cache_page_countsize_mb
TEST_DBNULL 428 3.34375
TEST_DBsysobjvalues 369 2.882812
TEST_DBsyscolpars 44 0.34375
TEST_DBsysssislog 38 0.296875
....

I have a report where in I have a combination of matrix ,table data regions.
The problem what I am facing is that the data tables don't remain fixed in their position and they tend to move down.
E.g. table 1 and table 2Â are on the same page in design time side by side (right and left)however during the runtime the table1 is pushed down and table2 is at its position .
Now how can I keep them all fixed in their same position. Most of the tables have fixed size rows and some who have high size of rows have been put at the end . What settings we can set?

Hello,
I am developing a smart device application with Visual Studio .Net 2005 and SQL Server Compact Edition database. And also using merge replication to synchronize the data from the mobile device to the SQL Server.
My database size is around 350MB. So when I am trying to synchronize this is the error message that I get.
" The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. The setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only.[Required Max Database size ( in MB; 0 if unknown)=129].
I tried changing the Max database size in the connection string and my connection string looks as follows and still did not have any luck.
connstr= "Data Source=Storage CardItems.sdf;Max Database Size=500;"
Any help regarding this would be appreciated.
Thank you
