  • Thank you very much

    Its working fine .

    manually daily we need to run to Know the Growth of data.

    or can i schedule job to run it as its daily .

    so that daily or weekly to prepare report

    Thanks

  • As DBA ; Automation is always preferred..

    I will Suggest schedule it during Non peak hours & have ready report at

    the start of Day.

  • I look at the system backup history tables to see what growth has been over time. It doesn't require any extra jobs or tables. I just run a script against the existing data that SQL already has stored.

    All of our databases, except 1 have a FULL backup run everyday, so I have data every day. My vldb is backed up weekly, which is frequent enough for trending.

  • Thank you very much for u r valuble suggessions dude's

    Regards
