database size

  • dear all

    what is production database size generally(500gb or 1tb) and how to monitor the database

    what is step for monitoring production database

    Thanks

  • Size widely depends on what you store, how often you purge and the amount of indexes and other objects are within the database. I have prod DB's which range from 150MB up to 2TB. Size can be monitored via PBM and other custom built methods like quering the DMV's and building your own custom metrics.

  • This is a very open ended question.

    Monitoring the db size also comes with capacity planning, archiving, storing your transaction log to different drive, transaction log backup.

    Just monitoring alone will not help you. You will be caught in surprise when all of sudden your transaction log fills up.

    Start preparing more on this topic other than just monitoring.
