for code

EXEC sp_helptext ‘sp_MSindexspace’

Hi Pinal,

I found something wrong with both of the queries. When it comes to heap and clustered index it tends to report less. Please find my script which tends to agree with sp_spaceused. Your ccoments please

select
object_name(i.object_id) as TableName,
i.name as IndexName,
i.index_id as IndexID,
8 * SUM(a.used_pages) as ‘Indexsize(KB)’
FROM sys.indexes as i
JOIN sys.partitions as p ON p.object_id = i.object_id and p.index_id = i.index_id
JOIN sys.allocation_units as a ON a.container_id = p.partition_id
Group by i.object_id,i.index_id,i.name
Order By object_name(i.object_id),i.index_id
