The following procedure will display the size of all the user tables in a database.
CREATE proc sp_tablesize
as
if exists (select * from sysobjects where name = 'sp_tablesize')
begin
goto calculate_tablesize
end
else
begin
CREATE TABLE #SpaceUsed
(
TableName sysname,
TableRows int,
TableSize varchar(10),
DataSpaceUsed varchar(10),
IndexSpaceUsed varchar(10),
UnusedSpace varchar(10)
)
goto calculate_tablesize
end
declare c1 cursor for select name from sysobjects where xtype='u'
open c1
fetch c1 into @tablename
while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
set @cmd='exec sp_spaceused['+@tablename+']'
insert into #SpaceUsed exec sp_executesql @cmd
fetch next from c1 into @tablename
end
I have 57 tables, 7 views and 1 stored procedure. Just wanted know based on these requirements how can I find the size of the database. Though the DB contains lots of tables, views and procedures. I am moving these details to new DB server. So I need to put right requirements.
I have a Db that is 1.7 gigs. The table data takes approximately 200megs. The transaction logs were truncated. Where else can this large size be coming from and how can I confirm?
DB is generally small. ~25 tables, 100 SPs, 10 views, etc.
Note:
I have 4 queues using SQL Notifications, but when selecting from them results in no data.
I have seen a bunch of ways to get the size of all the tables within a database posted on this board. I decided to modify an older one I found here (http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=282). I set it up so there is no cursors or temp tables. Pretty much just one select statement to return all the info you would need. It seems to be faster than anything I have seen so far. Take it for whats its worth. Thanks to the original creator.

When creating my database I have modeled some of the tables after the Adventureworks sample database.
There are some fields or entire tables in Adventureworks that I do not see an imediate use for, however; I would hate to ommit them to find out later they would have been benificial. (.eg territory table).
In general terms what would the impact be on size and performance of a database which contains tables or fields that do not contain data.
I have a database consisting of two main tables and 12 sub tables.
This was leading to increase in database size. So we thought of storing the sub tables data in the main tables in form of xml  in a column of varchar(2000) type.
So we created a new database that only had 2 tables and we stored the data of the sub tables in the new column of the main table.
Surprisingly we saw that the database size increased rather than decreasing .
I am replicating an 80GB database between NY can CT and would like toknow why table sizes are different between the two.Here is an example of sp_spaceused::NY IOI_2007_04_23 rows(279,664) reserved(464,832)data(439,960) index_size(24,624)CT IOI_2007_04_23 rows(279,666) reserved(542,232)data(493,232) index_size(48,784)Thanks,
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.
We have recently copied a database from one machine to another. On the old machine, when we access the tables we do not need to use the username.tablename convention to query them. On the new box we do.
For example, to query a table called Page we would nee to do this on the new box.
SELECT * FROM webdev.page
unfortunately all the code is written, without the username prefix. Is there a way to not use the username prefix?
Thank you for your help...sorry for the newbie type question.
We have a person who CAN connect to a named instance in SQL Server Management Studio. There is nothing in the log for a failed login for him. However, when he tries to expand the Tables folder under the only user database in the instance, he gets the error: Failed to retrieve data for this request (Microsoft.SQLServer.SmoEnum). Additional Information: An exception occured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. Select permission denied on object 'extended_properties',database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'(Microsoft SQL Server, Error:229).
He is trying to expand the Tables folder under a database named ADSALLDB. He can see the folder as well as the other folders (i.e. Views, Synonyms, Programmability,etc.), but can't expand any of them. He can expand the folders under the system databases.
Other uses set up just like him can connect. He is set up with read/write access to the database ADSALLDB. He can expand the system databases.
This is a named instance in a 6 node cluster. SQL Server 2005 SP1 Build Level 2221.
Hi, How to ennumerate the Rights of an User for all the tables [Select/Insert/Update/Delete] in a database or how to ennumerate/list all the Table rights for a particular user in a database? By User, i mean the Login names [like bill, sam, sa] and not dbowner, public, etc. thanx in advance.
I am relatively new to sql developer. There is a new user that just joined our organization. I am trying to grant him the same direct grants privilege to the tables that an existing user has. The existing user has a ton of direct table access privileges and it will take days if I had to do each grant one by one like: grant select,insert,delete,update on 'table name' to 'user id'. Is there a way of copying or inserting an existing user's privilege and granting it to a new user.
Hi,I found this SQL in the news group to drop indexs in a table.

Hi, i use this script that show me the size of each table and do the sum of all the table size.

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?
Hi all, I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx. I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer. I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project? Thanks in advance, Scott Chang
I am finding that the size of my SQL Server 7 tables are approx 75% LARGER than the same Visual FoxPro table. I am not considering indexes in either one. The only difference is that the SQL Server table has a timestamp that the Visual FoxPro table does not.
Is this normal? or did I do something wacko?
I upsized the data from Visual Fox to SQL by appending the info in the Visual Fox table into a remote view and then doing a TABLEUPDATE to send it to SQL Server.
I'm having to do some estimation on the size of the db that I will eventually create.
I have a 6.7 million row table that holds 5 integers and a varchar(8). Therefore my crude maths are that an integer is 4 bytes and a varchar is max 8 and therefore each line is 28 maxmimum bytes long. Multiply by 6.7 million and you get 1876000000 bytes or 183203KB or 179MB's. With me playing with this table the db has balooned from 23mb to 1,325mb. This doesnt work out. One possible explanation is if SQL Server does the same as Access and you need to compress to gain the space back. I wasn't aware of this though. I have filled and emptied the table several times over to test the import routine.
I therefore have a few questions. 1. Why has the db ballooned to this size? 2. How do I accurately work out future db/table sizes? 3. Is there a way to work out the size of a table? 4. Do SQL db's have to be compacted like Access's?
I know I can check individual table's properties for the size and row count of each, but is there a way of doing it for all tables within a database in SQL server 2005 ? I have about 69 tables in one..
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.
Being still a relative newcomer to SQL Server (people may say I'm trying to take on too much being somewhat inexperienced once they read about the problem I'm trying to tackle, but alas...) I'm running into the following problem: I need to create tables in my user database on the fly (using Stored Procedures) so that each table can be created many times in the database but only once for every user. The tables should be named something like "username.Table1", "username.Table2" etc. as opposed to "dbo.Table1". I then want to use the stored procedure from .NET/C# in my web application, so that i can create the complete set of usertables for each of my clients.
Now, I tackled the stored procedure part (that is, it creates all the tables I need with all the parameters I want) and am able to use it from my web application (which took some time to learn but proved quite easy to do), but I cannot seem to get it coupled to the current user (instead of the dbo). Every time I trie, the tables are created as dbo.Table1 and when I try to create a new set, it gives a warning ("table with name such and so already exists..."). I made sure to log in as an authenticated user (using forms authentication) before trying to create the tables but this gives the aforementioned result.
What am I doing wrong? I use Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express and IIS version 5.1
Is it possible to determine the data size of records in a table. basically I would like to run a select query with a condition and the result will be xKB. I know that this is possible on a database level, but can it be done on a record level (or number of records).
