I need to calculate the size of a database. Is the following formula correct??
(a) The size of a record (i.e. sum of all the columns) divide by 8Kb.
(b) Divide number of records by answer from (a)
(c) Multiple (b) by 8Kb
(d) Sum up the tables
Thanks,

Hi , everyone !
I need help . Is anybody can help me to finde transact-SQL code of calculating the database size.
Thanks in advnce , Alex
I would like to calculate the size of a table eg. 100 rows, 5 columns.
Any suggestions?? Thanks Vic
How do I calculate the Record size? I mean the Row size for each table.
I heard that there are formulas to do that and the calculation is different for Fixed lenght Columns and Variable length Columns.
I need to calculate the record size for nearly 500 tables.This will help me to decide on the DISk capacities.
Suggest me if any scipts or calculations already available.
Thanks in advance.

If I have a database with a list of tables is there a way to calculate the size of each table individually and
then calculate the size all the tables. If you have 1 table with say 10 rows and 3 columns and the width of the
columns are of variable length you could do something like
( column1width + column2width + column3width ) * No.of Rows = Tablesize
So my question is can I reference the column width of different columns in a
table using sql ?
Another issue is that some of the columns are different datatypes so I should be taking that
into consideration as well.
From searching the internet so far I have seen little on SQL showing how to
reference column width in a table.
I've seen plenty of posts regarding the estimation of table size,usually in the processing of planning for server storage needs.Well, I've got a different problem. I need to know how much data eachof our Customers are using in a Database. (1 SQL DB stores multiplecustomers).Basically, I want to be able to say: Customer A: 45.5 MB, Customer B:655 MB.So, how can I ask SQL Server how much data each Row in each table istaking up? I want to be able to calculate nightly the total size, so Iwould take each row in each table that belong to the customer, and addall the sizes together. I want to take into account blobs that arestoring images and PDF files also.Thanks in advance,Jesse Wolgamott

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 am researching this and playing with using the syss.sysprocesses view and counting the dbid column. I would most likely want to store this information in a table with a date/time stamp because we really want to track our concurrent users during the day for awhile. Do you have any neat tricks in getting this done? Is there a DMV or Information_Schema view that could be used to accomplish this task? I found the following code on the internet:
SELECT DB_NAME(dbid) AS DBName,
COUNT(dbid) AS NumberOfConnections,
loginame AS LoginName,
nt_domain AS NT_Domain,
nt_username AS NT_UserName,
hostname AS HostName
FROM sys.sysprocesses
[Code] ....
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.
Any help with this process?
Hi,
I am using
exec sp_helpdb
go
dbcc sqlperf(logspace) for
getting database size and log size. Is this gives the correct
database size and log size or Is there any other way to get the logsize and database size by means of query analyzer.
Thanks in Advance.

I'm getting this error while trying to insert records into a SQL Server Compact Edition database. I have pasted my connection string that was used when creating the database as well as for accessing that same database from my Windows application.
Thanks for any help any of you can give!
Data Source=OnTheGo.sdf;Encrypt Database=True;Password=<password>;Max Database Size=4091
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

We have a SQL server database most time for read only because the data source comes from another database( which is not SQL server database, now it is about 2G). Every day we have a job running as following:
Step 0. extra the data from another database, and create plain text files for each table for BCP job.
Step 1. drop all of the index
Step 2. truncate all of the tables.
Step 3. BCP in all of the data from plain text file.
Step 4. create all of the index again
Step 5. shirnk the database.
Everything runs fine but the database grows 1 G from yesterday's database. I am sure we do not have so much data entry in one day.
Any one can give some suggestion?
I wonder if I need do shirnk the database or shirnk the data file before create the index.
How can know how much size for all of the index file?
Thank you very much.

I am a beginner with sql and I have been inputting data (txt files) to my database and now have approached 4GB in size and it will not let me expand any further on the primary file group. My 'boss' said that sql has no size. I am using desktop
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a stored procedure that returns the current size of a database, and the maximum size of a database whose growth property IS NOT set to unlimited?
TIA,

Just wondering if anyone knew the maximum size of a database that SQL Server 7 can handle.

When I run sp_spaceused on my database it give me a total size of 258MB
The backup of this database reads 226MB
The Properties screen tells me that my data is a total of 278MB
I am running SQL 7.0 .
Why am I getting different sizes?
I have a simple question, why Am I running out of space with my current 3.5GB database, I am constantly expanding it, yet when I dump the database nightly the dump is just around 1.5GB?

Hi all,
We are using sql6.5. srvpack 3.
I noticed that one of our database was maxed out, and increased the size of the device and then increased the size of the database.
when I checked the database it is still showing the database is maxed out. I did it twice, it still shows that the space has been used.
Can anyone please explain to me why this is happening and how to get the actual space measurement.
Thanks in advance.
After we ran sp_spaceused on one database, the size for the UNUSED column is a negative number -1324KB. Can someone explain how this could happen? I really appreciate.

I need to check the log size of my database periodically and send a notification if the size exceeds 8 GB. I want to set this up as job that runs every 30 minutes or so and page the DBA if it exceeds the above said limit. Can anyone give me the command which can be used to obtain the logsize into a variable. I am new to SQL and would appreciate your expert advise.
Thanks,

I have a database that is almost 1.55 GB in size according to the database properties window.
However I checked the size of all the tables and indexes using the stored procedure 'sp_spaceused' and the sysindexes table and the total size of all tables and indexes is only 162 Mb.
Does anyone know why the database is so big, and how I may be able to reduce the size of it?
