I’m working on this now but is there a way to use this script to pull only info for a specific database? I’d like to implement this into a database admin tool I am writing.
Thanks again for all the help you provide.

When I queried sys.databases, the create-date column values were all displayed in YYYY-MM-DD format. Can anyone explain this, and how to display all of the dates in MM-DD-YYYY format?

Excellent script…will be adding it to my library immediately. Thanks Pinal.

And for all databases as a group – are they on the same disk? Are they on the System Disk?

I have a question, how can I change compatibility level of one database? for example improve it from 2005 to 2008?
tnx
