This SP gives additional information regarding disk space reserved on the database as well. Well, when I ran the SP on AdventureWorks first time, I suspected that database SP is not providing me correct results. However, it was not the case, there was an additional parameter to pass, which solved the problem for me. I described my experience in the blog post.  [...]

But you can create a stored procedure to simulate the logic as shown in this post

If want to check the spaceused for all the databases in the single query is it possible.Instead of mentioning each and every database name.

SELECT ObjectName = OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID),
Reservedpages = SUM (reserved_page_count),
Usedpages = SUM (used_page_count),
Pages = SUM (
CASE
WHEN (index_id < 2) THEN (in_row_data_page_count + lob_used_page_count + row_overflow_used_page_count)
ELSE lob_used_page_count + row_overflow_used_page_count
END
),
Row_Count = SUM (
CASE
WHEN (index_id < 2) THEN row_count
ELSE 0
END
)
FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats
GROUP BY OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID)

I do have a question regarding size or space used in SQL Server. I would like to know if you know how I can find the size use for a particular number of rows. for instance, if I have a table like that

Table products
person
products

I would like to know how much space customer 1 has used in that products tables.

like that. customer 1 has product 1, customer 2 has product 2 and customer 1 has product 2. I only want to know the size used in this table for customer 1.

thanks for your time

do you have any sp for resotraing databases from production to development server directly? it may use Batch file for FTP server.

I used to do this manually now, by transferrring the BAK file to dev server and by running the restore script , we used to do.

Please suggest on this.

i required automation on this scenario.

Regards

I found this article (as many many others) really interesting and usefull daily.

This one in particular reminds me of the Garbage Collection mechanism of the .Net Framework (e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/pt-br/library/system.gc.gettotalmemory(VS.80).aspx) or J2SE .

Still regarding memory consumption by the SQL Server, i have a less practical but more academical question, and it is about Query Execution Plans.

I’d like to ask if you could be so kind to write for us as article about how are managed the resources of generating querys executing plans.
Plus, how are this execution plans reused apon repeating same query / adapting an execution plan to a very similar query VS generating a new execution plan apon every repetition of query / regenerating another execution plan apon slightly different query ?

Apologies for my poor english skills.
Thanks for your help :)
