Guys,

Is there any system tables from which I can query and find the size of the table.

I tried using sysobjects and information_schema tables but could not find any column which spits out the size of the table.

Any suggestions and inputs would be helpful

Thanks

Use sp_spaceused stored procedure.

Just to add little more here... run dbcc updateusage for the table before running sp_spaceused to get accurate informations.


DBCC UPDATEUSAGE
Reports and corrects inaccuracies in the sysindexes table, which may result in incorrect space usage reports by the sp_spaceused system stored procedure.


This example reports information about the authors table.

DBCC UPDATEUSAGE ('pubs','authors')
GO
