How to measure database size in MS SQL Server
Using system view “sys.databases” and sys.master_files
Run the following script in master database.
SELECT sys.databases.name,
CONVERT(VARCHAR,SUM(size)*8/1024)+' MB' AS [Size]
FROM sys.databases
JOIN sys.master_files
ON sys.databases.database_id=sys.master_files.database_id
GROUP BY sys.databases.name
ORDER BY sys.databases.name
or in GB
SELECT sys.databases.name,
CONVERT(VARCHAR,(SUM(size)*8/1024)/1024.00)+' GB' AS [Size]
FROM sys.databases
JOIN sys.master_files
ON sys.databases.database_id=sys.master_files.database_id
GROUP BY sys.databases.name
ORDER BY sys.databases.name
Observe the individual database size
Run the following stored procedure in each database.
