Database growth report day by day

  • Hi all,

    I want to take report of database growth day by day. Please let me know if there is any way to find out database growth rate daily basis. I took report by msdb.dbo.backupset but I is not helping my purpose.

    Thanks in advance.

  • You data growth in the datafiles or the data files themselves growth?

  • Ninja-Its data growth in data files.

  • The backup size history is perfect for that. You just have to not delete it!

    Here's a beta script I built :

    IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#dbs') > 0

    DROP TABLE #dbs

    IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Drives') > 0

    DROP TABLE #Drives

    IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Results') > 0

    DROP TABLE #Results

    CREATE TABLE #dbs

    (

    DBNAME sysname

    , DBID INT

    , [Total Size in MB] INT

    , [Available Space In MB] INT

    , DriveLetter CHAR(1)

    )

    INSERT INTO

    #dbs

    (

    DBNAME

    , DBID

    , [Total Size in MB]

    , [Available Space In MB]

    USE [?];

    SELECT

    DB_NAME() As DBNAME

    , DB_ID() AS DBID

    , SUM(size / 128) AS ''Total Size in MB''

    , SUM(size / 128 - CAST(FILEPROPERTY(name , ''SpaceUsed'') AS int) / 128) AS ''Available Space In MB''

    , FreeGBs AS CONVERT(DECIMAL(18 , 2) , FreeMBs / 1024.0)

  • Does this run on both boxes 2000 and 2005. I executed this script on 2000 box but it threw errors.

    //

    Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 71

    Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WITH'.

    Server: Msg 195, Level 15, State 1, Line 80

    'ROW_NUMBER' is not a recognized function name.

    //

  • Doesn't work on 2000.

  • Can you provide any scripts for SQL Server 2000 as well.

  • Check what my script does. It can be converted to 2000 with a little work.

  • Thanks for your help 🙂
