How to determine space on SQL server 2005 box?

  • I need to be able to determine how much space is remaining on SQL server 2005 box and find out how

    to calculate how much space does it take for 10 million rows?

    I used sp_Spaceused but it seems like it is specific to database.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Here's how to get all tables for all dbs. This will include rowcount. From there on out it's just a rule of 3 away...

    SET STATISTICS IO, TIME OFF

    SET NOCOUNT ON

    SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON

    GO

    USE [master]

    GO

    IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.spaceused', 'U') IS NULL

    BEGIN

    CREATE TABLE dbo.spaceused (

    DbName sysname DEFAULT(''),

    tblName sysname,

    Row_count INT ,

    Reserved VARCHAR(50),

    data VARCHAR(50) ,

    index_size VARCHAR(50),

    unused VARCHAR(50),

    PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (DbName, tblName)

    );

    END

    ELSE

    BEGIN

    --DROP TABLE dbo.spaceused

    TRUNCATE TABLE dbo.spaceused

    END

    COMMIT

    GO

    DECLARE @Cmd VARCHAR(8000)

    SET @Cmd = 'USE [?];

    IF ''?'' NOT IN (''tempdb''

    --, ''master'', ''model'', ''msdb''

    )

    BEGIN

    --PRINT ''?''

    DECLARE @InnerCmd VARCHAR(8000)

    SET @InnerCmd = ''

    EXEC sp_spaceused '''''' + CHAR(63) + ''''''''

    INSERT INTO master.dbo.spaceused(tblName, Row_count,Reserved,data,index_size,unused)

    EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @InnerCmd

    UPDATE master.dbo.spaceused SET DbName = ''?'' WHERE DbName = ''''

    END

    '

    --PRINT @Cmd

    EXEC sp_MSforeachdb @Cmd

    DELETE FROM dbo.spaceused WHERE Row_count = 0

    SELECT

    DbName

    , tblName

    , Row_count

    , CONVERT(BIGINT, REPLACE(Reserved, ' KB', '')) / 1024 AS MB_Reserved

    , CONVERT(BIGINT, REPLACE(data, ' KB', '')) / 1024 AS MB_data

    , CONVERT(BIGINT, REPLACE(index_size, ' KB', '')) / 1024 AS MB_index_size

    , CONVERT(BIGINT, REPLACE(unused, ' KB', '')) / 1024 AS MB_unused

    FROM

    dbo.spaceused

    ORDER BY

    DbName

    , MB_Reserved DESC

    , Row_count DESC

    COMMIT

    This is the script I use to estimate growth over time. It works with msdb's backup history so you need to [not, stop] clearing it.

    The growth estimates are good but there's a bug if you have more than 1 datafile per db (It won't split the growth between them, but that's easy to fix in excel).
