QUESTION POSED ON: 11 March 2008 I am trying to retrieve the current amount of disk space being used by our SQL Server databases. I'd like to enter the results into a table where I can use the fields to populate a report. How can I find this information?
>
The current size of the data files can be found within the SQL Server. You can use the sysaltfiles table (system view in SQL Server 2005 and up) to see how large each file is.
SELECT name, filename, (size*8)/1024
FROM sysaltfiles.
