According t

Answer 1

To Check the Size of the Database Two Ways:

/* new school way - data plus log and run in the local db that you want to see here you can see the log and the mdf file. */ SELECT size*8.0/1024.0 as size_in_gb, * FROM sys.database_files GO

/* old school way, run for all db size*/ sp_helpdb

FYI - the MDF and NDF files are the only ones that attribute to the file size exceeding 10GB.
