plz reply soon

Many Thanks

1. ON i.data_space_id = f.data_space_id
2. WHERE i.data_space_id = f.data_space_id

However, the Where clause looks duplicated since the views have already been joined. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Cheers,

I needed to relate tables to files so I added sys.master_files:

Select Distinct
O.name As TableName
,I.name As IndexName
,I.type_desc As IndexType
,I.index_id As IndexID
,FG.name As FileGroupName
,F.name As FileLogicalName
,F.physical_name As FilePhysicalName
From
sys.indexes As I
Inner Join
sys.filegroups As FG
On I.data_space_id = FG.data_space_id
Inner Join
sys.master_files As F
On FG.data_space_id = F.data_space_id
And F.database_id = DB_ID()
Inner Join
sys.all_objects As O
On I.[object_id] = O.[object_id]
Where
I.data_space_id = FG.data_space_id
And O.[type] = ‘U’
Order By
TableName
,IndexID
Go

Sys.indexes “Contains a row per index or heap of a tabular object, such as a table, view, or table-valued function.” So it should be good.

I hope everything will go smoothly. and wanted to know if anyone knows how I can define the GOTO instruction and that taken as a parameter eg @ GoTo Label

Great post.

It would be nice to have the size of the table/index as well along with the file group in which it is stored. The administrator can then concentrate only on tables/indexes with large size.

Writtten this SP to find the large tables in the filegroup. Handy when you need to move large tables to other filegroups.

CREATE PROC sp_show_huge_tables
(
@top int = NULL,
@include_system_tables bit = 0
)
AS
/*************************************************************************************************

Purpose: To list the size of all tables in the database in descending order (that is biggere tables first).
Output can be restricted to top n tables. That is you can pass the value 3 to @top parameter to
see the top 3 biggest tables in your database. Optionally, you can use @include_system_tables
parameter, to include systemt tables in the output.
NOTE: Always create this procedure in the master database and call it from the required databases,
as if the stored procedure is created in that database (That is, don’t prefix the stored procedure
with the database name).

Examples:

To list all the user tables in the database along with their sizes:

To see the top three biggest tables in your database:
EXEC sp_show_huge_tables 3

To list all the user AND system tables in the database along with their sizes:
EXEC sp_show_huge_tables @include_system_tables = 1

To see the top three biggest user or system tables in your database:
EXEC sp_show_huge_tables 3, 1

I am working on file group audit and saw the same script you are using at mssqltips.com (http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1112)
But I also want to find the view, procedures and functions on the filegroup. I could not find a way to do that. I will appreciate if you can help me with that.

Your community spirit is unparalleled. I like to come to your blog when I have problem at my work to look for solution and many a time I have found one.

For instance: I have 4 filegroups and none table created in one specific filegroup but in some partition schemes that use the four filegroups. When you query sys.indexes and sys.filegroups none objects are displayed.

Now there’s sys.indexes and sys.stats. sys.indexes has data_space_id, sys.stats does not. How is this handled in SQL 2008 then?

Thanks for your help…

It’s very nice article and i try to find about the
how i can get file groups in primary key it is very use ful
to create script for primary key.

Thnaks,
Kuldip Bhatt

In our prod environment we have a db with 3 datafiles and 1 log file,
All the 3 dbs have the same size 16 gb and the log file is 5 gb.
They are all on the PRIMARY file group.
All the 4 files are on four different drives.

I am just wondering whether creating File Groups here will help?

Thanks
Biju

Thanks.

Never got a chance to work with Multi file groups yet.
