Query Table Sizes from a SQL Database

No comments

I pulled apart a few stored procedures and ended up with this code. Very nice way to query the row count and size for each table. Take a look at the code, it is simpler than you might think. To use, change the database name at the top of the script to any database you wish to query. I turned this into a really handy stored procedure. When I call the stored procedure I pass the database name. Possibilities are endless.

use master
go

BEGIN try 
DECLARE @table_name VARCHAR(500) ; 
DECLARE @schema_name VARCHAR(500) ; 
DECLARE @tab1 TABLE(
        tablename VARCHAR (500) collate database_default
,       schemaname VARCHAR(500) collate database_default
); 
DECLARE  @temp_table TABLE (    
        tablename sysname
,       row_count INT
,       reserved VARCHAR(50) collate database_default
,       data VARCHAR(50) collate database_default
,       index_size VARCHAR(50) collate database_default
,       unused VARCHAR(50) collate database_default 
); 

INSERT INTO @tab1 
SELECT t1.name
,       t2.name 
FROM sys.tables t1 
INNER JOIN sys.schemas t2 ON ( t1.schema_id = t2.schema_id );   

DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR 
SELECT t2.name + '.' + t1.name  
FROM sys.tables t1 
INNER JOIN sys.schemas t2 ON ( t1.schema_id = t2.schema_id );   

OPEN c1; 
FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @table_name;
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 
BEGIN  
        SET @table_name = REPLACE(@table_name, '[',''); 
        SET @table_name = REPLACE(@table_name, ']',''); 

        -- make sure the object exists before calling sp_spacedused
        IF EXISTS(SELECT OBJECT_ID FROM sys.objects WHERE OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID(@table_name))
        BEGIN
                INSERT INTO @temp_table EXEC sp_spaceused @table_name, false ;
        END
        
        FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @table_name; 
END; 
CLOSE c1; 
DEALLOCATE c1; 
SELECT t1.*
,       t2.schemaname 
FROM @temp_table t1 
INNER JOIN @tab1 t2 ON (t1.tablename = t2.tablename )
ORDER BY  schemaname,tablename;
END try 
BEGIN catch 
SELECT -100 AS l1
,       ERROR_NUMBER() AS tablename
,       ERROR_SEVERITY() AS row_count
,       ERROR_STATE() AS reserved
,       ERROR_MESSAGE() AS data
,       1 AS index_size, 1 AS unused, 1 AS schemaname 
END catch

The results look like this:

Looks great.
