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

All seem overly complicated! Or am I missing something?

Surely all you need is something like:

select d.name, case when m.type = 0 then 'Data' else 'Log' end,  m.size * 8 / 1024
from sys.master_files m JOIN sys.databases d ON d.database_id = m.database_id

or if you don't want the log:

select d.name, m.size * 8 / 1024
from sys.master_files m JOIN sys.databases d ON d.database_id = m.database_id and m.type =0

Answer 2

A better and quite simpler one

SELECT [Database Name] = DB_NAME(database_id),
     [Type] = CASE WHEN Type_Desc = 'ROWS' THEN 'Data File(s)'
               WHEN Type_Desc = 'LOG'  THEN 'Log File(s)'
               ELSE Type_Desc END,
     [Size in MB] = CAST( ((SUM(Size)* 8) / 1024.0) AS DECIMAL(18,2) )
FROM   sys.master_files
--Uncomment if you need to query for a particular database
--WHERE      database_id = DB_ID(‘Database Name’) 
GROUP BY  GROUPING SETS
        (
               (DB_NAME(database_id), Type_Desc),
               (DB_NAME(database_id))
        ) ORDER BY      DB_NAME(database_id), Type_Desc DESC

It will give you size of Data File(s) and Log File(s) separately like below

DatabaseName    Type            Size in MB
-------------------------------------------
FMS             Data File(s)    23.00
FMS             Log File(s)     1.50
PointOfSale     Data File(s)    4.00
PointOfSale     Log File(s)     1.25
Union2          Data File(s)    336.00
Union2          Log File(s)     1191.13
SurveyProject   Data File(s)    4.00
SurveyProject   Log File(s)     1.00

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

I recently came across this page looking for something like this. Just in case someone comes across this and is interested in only the core user databases, you can use something like this which excludes Master, msdb...

SELECT
DB_NAME(db.database_id) DatabaseName,
(CAST(mfrows.RowSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024 RowSizeMB,
(CAST(mflog.LogSize AS FLOAT)*8)/1024 LogSizeMB
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
where DB_NAME(db.database_id) not like 'master'
and DB_NAME(db.database_id) not like 'msdb'
and DB_NAME(db.database_id) not like 'model'
and DB_NAME(db.database_id) not like 'tempdb'
and DB_NAME(db.database_id) not like 'Northwind'
and DB_NAME(db.database_id) not like 'ReportServer'
order by DB_NAME(db.database_id)

Answer 5

sometimes SECURITY issues prevent from asking for all the db's and you need to query one by one with the db prefix, for those cases i created this dynamic query

go
declare @Results table ([Name] nvarchar(max), [DataFileSizeMB] int, [LogFileSizeMB] int);

declare @QaQuery nvarchar(max)
declare @name nvarchar(max)

declare MY_CURSOR cursor 
  local static read_only forward_only
for 
select name from master.dbo.sysdatabases where name not in ('master', 'tempdb', 'model', 'msdb', 'rdsadmin');

open MY_CURSOR
fetch next from MY_CURSOR into @name
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin 
    if(len(@name)>0)
    begin
        print @name + ' Column Exist'
        set @QaQuery = N'select 
                            '''+@name+''' as Name
                            ,sum(case when type = 0 then size else 0 end) as DataFileSizeMB
                            ,sum(case when type = 1 then size else 0 end) as LogFileSizeMB
                        from ['+@name+'].sys.database_files
                        group by replace(name, ''_log'', '''')';

        insert @Results exec sp_executesql @QaQuery;
    end
  fetch next from MY_CURSOR into @name
end
close MY_CURSOR
deallocate MY_CURSOR

select * from @Results order by DataFileSizeMB desc
go

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
