Get size of all tables in database


I have inherited a fairly large SQL Server database. It seems to take up more space than I would expect, given the data it contains.

Is there an easy way to determine how much space on disk each table is consuming?


Solution

  • SELECT 
        t.name AS TableName,
        s.name AS SchemaName,
        p.rows,
        SUM(a.total_pages) * 8 AS TotalSpaceKB, 
        CAST(ROUND(((SUM(a.total_pages) * 8) / 1024.00), 2) AS NUMERIC(36, 2)) AS TotalSpaceMB,
        SUM(a.used_pages) * 8 AS UsedSpaceKB, 
        CAST(ROUND(((SUM(a.used_pages) * 8) / 1024.00), 2) AS NUMERIC(36, 2)) AS UsedSpaceMB, 
        (SUM(a.total_pages) - SUM(a.used_pages)) * 8 AS UnusedSpaceKB,
        CAST(ROUND(((SUM(a.total_pages) - SUM(a.used_pages)) * 8) / 1024.00, 2) AS NUMERIC(36, 2)) AS UnusedSpaceMB
    FROM 
        sys.tables t
    INNER JOIN      
        sys.indexes i ON t.object_id = i.object_id
    INNER JOIN 
        sys.partitions p ON i.object_id = p.object_id AND i.index_id = p.index_id
    INNER JOIN 
        sys.allocation_units a ON p.partition_id = a.container_id
    LEFT OUTER JOIN 
        sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id
    WHERE 
        t.name NOT LIKE 'dt%' 
        AND t.is_ms_shipped = 0
        AND i.object_id > 255 
    GROUP BY 
        t.name, s.name, p.rows
    ORDER BY 
        TotalSpaceMB DESC, t.name
