sp_spaceused rewritten as one query (no cursors)

,

I reverse engineered sp_spaceused and packed the exact same logic into a query that isn't limited to running on a single object at a time.

/*
 * Query that simulates running sp_spaceused on every applicable object in a database and gathering it all into a single result set
 * This set-based approach is more efficient then actually doing that.
 * The logic is derived strait from the source of sp_spaceused, so the numerical values should be a 1-to-1 match.
 * Three changes have been made to the result set:
 *     (1) The object's schema and type are included.
 *     (2) Actual numbers are used in the result instead of strings with ' KB' appended to the end.
 *     (3) The reserved, data, index_size, and unused columns are renamed with a postfix of '_kb'.
 * Compatibility: 2005+
