Hi All,
I have around 80 databases in my one of sql server instance.
we hve to regularly send the database wise health report to the client.
The following fields mentioned by the client in excel sheet
Name of database
Logical file name of .MDF
.Mdf File location drive
Size of the file in MB
Physical file location(full path of .mdf file)
Maxsize
Growth
Now a days we have to check databases one by one and its taking very much time.
Could anyone provide me the script which automatically fetch all of required fields information from all of the databases.
Urgent help will be appreciable.
Austin

Do you have a script to do this one at a time?

-- this will get u started --

SET NOCOUNT ON

Create Table #t (

db varchar(255),

filename varchar(255),

name varchar(255),

int,

maxsize int,

growth int

)

Declare @db varchar(255)

Declare c Cursor

read_only

for

select name from sysdatabases where dbid > 4

Open c

fetch next from c into @db

while @@fetch_status = 0

begin

Exec ('INSERT #t

select ''' + @db + ''', filename, name, (size * 8)/1024, maxsize, growth

from' + @db + '..sysfiles

wherefileid = 1'

)

fetch next from c into @db

end

Close c

Deallocate c

Select * from #t

Drop table #t

edit math error... :blink:

u will need to modify if multiple data files. also note that maxsize and growth are in 8kb increments, so need to multiply by 128 to get mb. but, the values may be -1 for maxsize meaning unlimited and/or 0 for growth meaning no growth. u can add logic for those values if need.

oh yeah, run script in master db

I mean the above script will produce.

Name of database

Logical file name of .MDF

.Mdf File location drive

Size of the file in MB

Physical file location(full path of .mdf file)

Maxsize

Growth

and I want to add

Logical file name of .LDF

.LDF File location drive

Size of the file in MB

Physical file location(full path of .ldf file)

🙂

Austin_123 SSCommitted Points: 1648 More actions · Answer 10

If you remove the where clause in given script then it will display the information about transaction log file coz' the file id of .mdf file is 1 and fileid of .ldf file is 2. The below block of the code will give the required information even if you are having multiple data files I mean primary(.mdf) and secondary(.ndf) or multiple log files because there is no where clause used. Follow the below script.

Open c

fetch next from c into @db

while @@fetch_status = 0

begin

Exec ('INSERT #t

select ''' + @db + ''', filename, name, (size * 8)/1024, maxsize, growth

from ' + @db + '..sysfiles')

-- dont use where clause here coz' it will restrict the result

I have executed above script successfully.

try it...

Austin

No, no... wasn't directed at you, Susan... Russell's thread had "edit math error" at the bottom and I wanted to know what he meant by that...

Thanks Austin.

It works well 🙂

Just a different slant on things...

-- DROP TABLE #T

GO

--===== Create a table to store the results in

CREATE TABLE #T

(

Name SYSNAME,

FileID INT,

FileName NVARCHAR(512),

FileGroup VARCHAR(100),

Size VARCHAR(20),

MaxSize VARCHAR(20),

Growth VARCHAR(20),

Usage VARCHAR(20)

)

--===== Declare a local variable for some dynamic SQL... Could use VARCHAR(MAX) in 2k5

DECLARE @sql VARCHAR(8000)

--===== Create all the commands necessary for ALL databases

SELECT @sql = ISNULL(@SQL+CHAR(13),'')

+ REPLACE('USE [Mydb] INSERT #T EXEC sp_helpfile','Mydb',Name)

FROM Master.dbo.SysDatabases

--===== Execute the commands

EXEC (@SQL)

--===== Display the results

SELECT * FROM #T ORDER BY Name
