SQL Server Instance Database Sizing’s

Views 1586

Sometimes when we are administering our SQL Server environments we need to quickly report on this environment indicating for all of our databases (data & tlog) in the Instance or for a subset of databases (data & tlog) in the Instance the :

  • Current Size
  • Max Size
  • Growth Increments
  • Free Space
  • Percentage Used

There is no quick and easy way of achieving this. There are the default standard reports available in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) – Right Click on [DBName] | Reports | Standard Reports | Disk Usage which gives you a breakdown of the:

  • Total Space Used
  • Data Files Space Used
  • Transaction Log Space Used
  • Pie Graphs for Data and Tlog usage

This report is very nice and quickly and easily shows you the information that you need, but as I stated at the start, you need to get this information for all of your databases in your environment. If you have 20 or more Databases in your instance of SQL Server then this will take a little bit of time. If you have a Windows Server Fail-over Cluster (WSFC) running multiple instance of SQL Server, This task is going to take you a long time to get the information you need.

As such I have created a script which allows you to report on all DB’s in your instance and this can also be run from a central management group to report on all of your instances and the results can then be quickly and easily collated together into Excel to allow you to quickly and easily produce instance based graphs etc for you capacity planning meeting with your manager.

I use the below script:

I hope this helps reduce your workload for this small repetitive task.
