how can i query my sql server to only get the size of database?

I used this :

use "MY_DB"
exec sp_spaceused

I got this :

database_name   database_size   unallocated space
My_DB           17899.13 MB 5309.39 MB

It returns me several column that i don't need, maybe there is a trick to select database_size column from this stored procedure ?

I also tried this code :

SELECT DB_NAME(database_id) AS DatabaseName,
       Name AS Logical_Name,
       Physical_Name,
       (size * 8) / 1024 SizeMB
FROM sys.master_files
WHERE DB_NAME(database_id) = 'MY_DB'

It gives me this result:

DatabaseName    Logical_Name    Physical_Name                    SizeMB
MY_DB           MY_DB           D:\MSSQL\Data\MY_DB.mdf          10613
MY_DB           MY_DB_log       D:\MSSQL\Data\MY_DB.ldf          7286

So i wrote this:

SELECT SUM(SizeMB)
FROM (
    SELECT DB_NAME(database_id) AS DatabaseName,
           Name AS Logical_Name,
           Physical_Name,
           (size * 8) / 1024 SizeMB
    FROM sys.master_files
    WHERE DB_NAME(database_id) = 'MY_DB'
) AS TEMP

I got: 1183

So it works but maybe there is a proper way to get this?


Try this one -

Query:

SELECT 
      database_name = DB_NAME(database_id)
    , log_size_mb = CAST(SUM(CASE WHEN type_desc = 'LOG' THEN size END) * 8. / 1024 AS DECIMAL(8,2))
    , row_size_mb = CAST(SUM(CASE WHEN type_desc = 'ROWS' THEN size END) * 8. / 1024 AS DECIMAL(8,2))
    , total_size_mb = CAST(SUM(size) * 8. / 1024 AS DECIMAL(8,2))
FROM sys.master_files WITH(NOWAIT)
WHERE database_id = DB_ID() -- for current db 
GROUP BY database_id

Output:

-- my query

      , row_size_mb = CAST(SUM(CASE WHEN type_desc = 'ROWS' THEN size END) * 8. / 1024 AS DECIMAL(8,2))

Also compare the results with the following query's result

EXEC sp_helpdb @dbname= 'MSDB'

It produces result similar to the following

There is a good article - Different ways to determine free space for SQL Server databases and database files


Worked perfectly for me to calculate SQL database size in SQL Server 2012

exec sp_spaceused

enter image description here


SELECT      sys.databases.name AS [Database 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
