SQL Server 2008: How to query all databases sizes?

I have MS SQL 2008 R2, 500 databases. What is the most efficient, easiest and 'modern' way to query all databases sizes.

The output should have columns:

  • DatabaseName
  • DataFilesSize
  • LogFilesSize

Solution 1:

with fs
as
(
    select database_id, type, size * 8.0 / 1024 size
    from sys.master_files
)
select 
    name,
    (select sum(size) from fs where type = 0 and fs.database_id = db.database_id) DataFileSizeMB,
    (select sum(size) from fs where type = 1 and fs.database_id = db.database_id) LogFileSizeMB
from sys.databases db

Solution 2:

I don't know exactly what you mean by efficiency but this is straightforward and it works for me:

SELECT
    DB_NAME(db.database_id) DatabaseName,
    (CAST(mfrows.RowSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024 RowSizeMB,
    (CAST(mflog.LogSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024 LogSizeMB,
    (CAST(mfstream.StreamSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024 StreamSizeMB,
    (CAST(mftext.TextIndexSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024 TextIndexSizeMB
FROM sys.databases db
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT database_id, SUM(size) RowSize FROM sys.master_files WHERE type = 0 GROUP BY database_id, type) mfrows ON mfrows.database_id = db.database_id
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT database_id, SUM(size) LogSize FROM sys.master_files WHERE type = 1 GROUP BY database_id, type) mflog ON mflog.database_id = db.database_id
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT database_id, SUM(size) StreamSize FROM sys.master_files WHERE type = 2 GROUP BY database_id, type) mfstream ON mfstream.database_id = db.database_id
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT database_id, SUM(size) TextIndexSize FROM sys.master_files WHERE type = 4 GROUP BY database_id, type) mftext ON mftext.database_id = db.database_id

With results like:

DatabaseName  RowSizeMB LogSizeMB StreamSizeMB TextIndexSizeMB
------------- --------- --------- ------------ ---------------
master        4         1.25      NULL         NULL
model         2.25      0.75      NULL         NULL
msdb          14.75     8.1875    NULL         NULL
tempdb        8         0.5       NULL         NULL

Here's a simple, quick and reliable query that will give all database and log file names, sizes and also database statuses (e.g. ONLINE) in a nice, easy to read output:

SELECT
    D.name,
    F.Name AS FileType,
    F.physical_name AS PhysicalFile,
    F.state_desc AS OnlineStatus,
    CAST(F.size AS bigint) * 8*1024 AS SizeInBytes,
    CAST((F.size*8.0)/1024/1024 AS decimal(18,3)) AS SizeInGB
FROM 
    sys.master_files F
    INNER JOIN sys.databases D ON D.database_id = F.database_id
ORDER BY SizeInBytes desc

Solution 4:

with Total Database size ordered Desc

SELECT     
DB_NAME(db.database_id) DatabaseName,     
(CAST(mfrows.RowSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024 RowSizeMB,     
(CAST(mflog.LogSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024 LogSizeMB, 
(CAST(mfrows.RowSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024/1024+(CAST(mflog.LogSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024/1024 DBSizeG,
(CAST(mfstream.StreamSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024 StreamSizeMB,     
(CAST(mftext.TextIndexSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024 TextIndexSizeMB 
FROM sys.databases db     
LEFT JOIN (SELECT database_id, 
                  SUM(size) RowSize 
            FROM sys.master_files 
            WHERE type = 0 
            GROUP BY database_id, type) mfrows 
    ON mfrows.database_id = db.database_id     
LEFT JOIN (SELECT database_id, 
                  SUM(size) LogSize 
            FROM sys.master_files 
            WHERE type = 1 
            GROUP BY database_id, type) mflog 
    ON mflog.database_id = db.database_id     
LEFT JOIN (SELECT database_id, 
                  SUM(size) StreamSize 
                  FROM sys.master_files 
                  WHERE type = 2 
                  GROUP BY database_id, type) mfstream 
    ON mfstream.database_id = db.database_id     
LEFT JOIN (SELECT database_id, 
                  SUM(size) TextIndexSize 
                  FROM sys.master_files 
                  WHERE type = 4 
                  GROUP BY database_id, type) mftext 
    ON mftext.database_id = db.database_id 
       ORDER BY 4 DESC
