I have 50 SQL2k MSDE servers with 250 databases.
Need to know the 250 databases size on daily bases.
It looks dbsize is not in server.master.sysdatabases,
but in individual sysfiles.
Any idea about how to retrieve the dbsize in a better way?

select * from sysdatabases
give the information for all DB's, where as
select * from sysfiles
gives the information only for current DB.
Is there a system table which contain the information for all the files on a server? Or Do I need to use SP_MSFOREACHDB?

Hi,
I am supposed to use 250 MB of space in SQL Server 2005 database
I was running out of space and thus deleted some rows from a table. To my surprise the db size increased. I then shrunk it to bring it back to what it was earlier.
When i deleted some 5000 rows, some space must have been released. Where did the space go and why did the db size increase after deleting the records?
I thought it might be log files..but my hosting provider tells me that db is set to Simple Recovery which does not utilize a Log File. So we cannot shrink it.
So i fired the command
'select * from sysfiles'
Results:
11251602880012820ASPNETDB_DAT_DATD:Program Files....dncASPNETDB.MDF
206312800128660ASPNETDB.MDF_logD:Program Files....dncASPNETDB_log.ldf
3025612800110486420dnc_log2D:Program Files....dncdnc_log2.ldf
What can I do now?thanks.
I have databse called RM-A1 and a log of RM-A1.log
When i run this statement it errors.
select ceiling((size * 8192.0)/(1024.0 * 1024.0)),
case when status & 0x100000 = 0 then
convert(varchar,ceiling((growth * 8192)/(1024.0*1024.0)))
else convert (varchar, growth)
end + char(10)+char(13)
from RM-A1_log.dbo.sysfiles where fileid = '1'
--This works
select * from dbo.sysfiles
Im using a dynamic statement
set @cmd = N'select @ceil = ceiling((size * 8192.0)/(1024.0 * 1024.0)), @CNT = case when status & 0x100000 = 0 then
''MB '' + convert(varchar,ceiling((growth * 8192)/(1024.0*1024.0))) '
+ 'else ''PER '' + convert (varchar, growth) '
+ 'end' + char(10)+char(13)
+ 'from ' + @l_db_name + '.dbo.sysfiles where fileid = ''1'''
exec sp_executesql @cmd, @retType, @cnt OUTPUT, @ceil OUTPUT
I cannot determine why log name of '-' are erroring all other databases are working.
I succesfully did a MSSQL "file" restore of production to a different node yesterday. But failed to apply any transaction logs, it complained that one of the files have not been restored. On further investigation I found that one of the files are missing in sysfiles, but the file is in sysaltfiles.
This SQL statement does not return the same number files.
SELECT * FROM <DB>..sysfilesSELECT * FROM master..sysaltfiles WHERE dbid= DB_ID('<DB>')
sp_helpdb '<DB>' gives the same result as sysfiles.
Any idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks

Could someone explain how to convert this size to gigabytes? I look at it, and I can't figure out what size it is in. Maybe bits?
EXEC sp_MSForEachDB 'SELECT CONVERT(char(100), SERVERPROPERTY(''Servername'')) AS Server,
''?'' as DatabaseName,[?]..sysfiles.size, [?]..sysfiles.status, [?]..sysfiles.name, [?]..sysfiles.filename,convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(''?'',''Status'')) as Status,
convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(''?'',''Updateability'')) as Updateability,
convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(''?'',''UserAccess'')) as User_Access,
convert(sysname,DatabasePropertyEx(''?'',''Recovery'')) as Recovery From [?]..sysfiles '
Any help is appreciated.

Whenever I'm running query against the below database alone, it throws me the error.
use [AdventureWorks_2005]
SELECT * FROM dbo.sysFILES
OR
SELECT * FROM [AdventureWorks_2005].[sys].[SYSFILES]
Error- >
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Invalid object name 'dbo.sysFILES'
