SQL Server 2008: How to query all databases sizes?

Question

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:

Answer 1

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

Answer 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

please find more deatils or download the script from below link https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/SIZE-OF-ALL-DATABASES-IN-0337f6d5#content

 DECLARE @spacetable table

 from sys.master_files where database_id=DB_ID(DB_NAME())  and  type=0
 group by type_desc  ) as x ,

 ,case when sum(size*8/1024)=0 then ''less than 1% used'' else
 substring(cast((sum(FILEPROPERTY(name,''SpaceUsed''))*1.0*100/sum(size)) as CHAR(50)),1,6) end ''percent fill''
 from sys.master_files where database_id=DB_ID(DB_NAME())  and  type=1
 group by type_desc  )y'
 select * from @spacetable
 order by database_name

Answer 4

Simplified & Improved version:

SELECT
    D.name,
    CAST(SUM(F.size) AS bigint) * 8*1024 AS SizeInBytes,
    CAST(SUM(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
GROUP BY D.name
ORDER BY SizeInBytes desc

Answer 5

SELECT
    DB.name,
    SUM(CASE WHEN type = 0 THEN MF.size * 8 / 1024 ELSE 0 END) AS DataFileSizeMB,
    SUM(CASE WHEN type = 1 THEN MF.size * 8 / 1024 ELSE 0 END) AS LogFileSizeMB
FROM
    sys.master_files MF
    JOIN sys.databases DB ON DB.database_id = MF.database_id
GROUP BY DB.name
ORDER BY DataFileSizeMB DESC

Answer 6

All this examples work fine on most of my database servers. However if you have 1 server with multiple instances and all those servers those query's give you no result.

For instance the first query gives a result like:

name    DataFileSizeMB  LogFileSizeMB
master  NULL    NULL
tempdb  NULL    NULL
model   NULL    NULL
msdb    NULL    NULL

So the databases are selected from sys.databases, however the table sys.master_files seems to be empty or gives no result.

Even a simple query as select * from sys.master_files has a result of 0 records. You don't receive any errors but no records are found. On my servers with only 1 database instance this works fine.
