Nice article. Anyone care to spend 20 minutes doing copy/paste work to put all that code in a single file and test it so that this article can actually usable?

Interesting article.
Just a note - xp_fixeddrives doesn't return any space info on mount points in the filesystem below the drive letters. If you have database file in such locations thats an important point.

Thanks you for providing better code. I'm hoping that eventually we'll have a a nice stored procedure that you can execute when/if the SQL server gets into trouble.
Is there any other information you think should be collected?

you can call
wmic volume get caption,capacity,freespace
to get the freespace on all drives including mount points.
Make this call from xp_cmdshell and place the results into a table if you want to processs them further.

Thanks to Ninja for providing the code in a copy/paste format. Not sure why the article's code is showing up that way.
By the way, if you copy the complete article and paste it into MS Word, the code is now converted to a usable format.

NP, it's easy to ask for something and wait for someone to have it done ;).

Does this stored procedure SQL 2K or is it for 2005/08 only. I have had a look but get a number of errors.
December 19, 2008 at 8:03 am
This works on SQL 2005/2008, x32bit and x64bit, stand alone or on a multi instance installation.
DAC is not available in SQL 2000 or earlier, but I wish it did.

Our abbreviations are beginning to overlap often. Since I like audo, I see "DAC" and I think "Digital to Analogue Converter."

Thanks for the updated code. this code will be a great asset for all dba's.

We learn every day, but my SSMS complains about the line:
"CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) AS st".
I do not know what is going wrong.

Are you executing the code on a SQL 2005? Does not work on SQL 2000.
Here is the link for more information on CROSS APPLY

Rudy, thanks.
I am using SQL Server 2005, Leendert.
