I would like to get a few fields out of sp_helpdb
For example I would like to have a query something like:
select size, growth from sp_helpdb databasename for data file and transaction log file
How can this be done please?
Thanks

u can insert the output of sp_helpdb into a temp table (#) and then query the required fields on desired condition

Not sure how do do this because sp_helpdb databasename returns two tables and not one.
Thanks

you can't use insert/exec with procs that return more than one result set. one option is to look at the code for sp_helpdb and write your own proc that *does* return only a single result set. then you can use insert/exec with that new proc.
