How to get sp_spaceused to report all tables and DB''s

  • Here is the general idea.

    I need to get (and store for trending) size of every table in every database (for every server).  This needs to be retained in a table to be queried against.  I have two out of three of these things covered...

    I have every server (Job that runs daily that populates the table - linked server together to get all the data together)

    I have ever table...here is the basic run down:

    Create a temp table, then run sp_msforeachtable inserting into the temp table - Then, a few updates to make the data readable, then insert the data into the final storage table.  This works, very well...except that it only works for the database this runs on...it cannot run on other databases, even if the use <database> command.  here is the basic SQL:

    create

    procedure GetTableData1 as

    create

    table #tmpTableData (

    Server varchar(80) default @@servername,

    DatabaseName

    varchar(80) null,

    DateRun

    varchar(25) default getdate(),

    Name varchar(60) not null,

    Rows

    int not null,

    Reserved

    varchar(20) not null,

    Data

    varchar(20) not null,

    Index_Size

    varchar(20) not null,

    Unused

    varchar(20) not null

    )

    exec

    sp_msforeachtable "insert into #tmpTableData (Name, Rows, Reserved, Data, Index_Size, Unused) exec sp_spaceused '?'"

    update

    #tmpTableData

    set

    Reserved = left(Reserved, len(Reserved) - 3), Data = left(Data, len(Data) - 3),

    Index_Size

    = left(Index_Size, len(Index_Size) - 3), Unused = left(Unused, len(Unused) - 3)

    alter

    table #tmpTableData

    alter column Reserved int

    alter

    table #tmpTableData

    alter column Data int

    alter

    table #tmpTableData

    alter column Index_Size int

    alter

    table #tmpTableData

    alter column Unused int

    update

    #tmpTableData

    set [databasename] = db_name()

    where [databasename] is null

    IF

    EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE name = 'DB_Table_Info' AND type = 'U')

    begin

    Insert

    into DB_Table_Info

    select

    * from #tmpTableData

    order

    by Reserved desc

    end

    else

    begin

    select

    * into DB_Table_Info from #tmpTableData order by Reserved desc

    end

    drop

    table #tmpTableData

    I even tried sp_msforeachdb "GetTableData1", but that does not work...the closest I came was getting 5 copies of each row, one for each database.

    Maybe I have been working on this to hard all day, and missed something totally obvious...that would not bother me anymore...

    TIA
