Measure SQL tables with ROWCOUNTS and STORAGE
With custom SQL line of business databases it can be helpful to enumerate all tables and row counts for each. The below TSQL will create a new VIEW named “RowCounts” for that purpose. I’d suggest adding this to any custom SQL database for easy data quality checks and monitoring.
TSQL RowCount
CREATE VIEW RowCounts AS ( SELECT o.NAME, i.rowcnt FROM sysindexes AS i INNER JOIN sysobjects AS o ON i.id = o.id WHERE i.indid < 2 AND OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'IsMSShipped') = 0)
TSQL Storage
SELECT t.NAME AS TableName, s.Name AS SchemaName, p.rows AS RowCounts, 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 t.Name
